| Hello! | |

Exploring NASA lights up the night sky with a one-of-a-kind projection of images on the western exterior of the Figge building. The University of Iowa is considered a pioneer of space research; the fourth exhibit will explore the past 54 years of exploration and the university's role in it. Other events at the museum include Fridays at the Figge, Drawing Naturescapes, and Art in the Middle.
Guy Penrod brings his new, number one album to the Adler Theatre on Friday night. The 2011 Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee spent fourteen years with the Grammy and Dove award-winning Gaither Vocal Band before making his Grand Ole Opry debut as a solo artist last year. Also, don't forget that the Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival is right around the corner and tickets are on sale now!
HAYWYRE and MINDSPYK perform with Ghost Science in the Redstone Room on Saturday night. These unique artists bring a flavor of hip-hop, dubstep, and electronica to the River Music Experience. The RME live lunch series this week features Sweet Wednesday, Tony Hoeppner, Dave Smith, and Randy Leasman. Improve your own musical chops with Songwriters in the Round, Acoustic Music Club, and Open Mic Night.
Cool off with Public Skates at River's Edge Friday through Wednesday and beat the heat! Also, Heartland Jam is coming up on July 20 and 21; look for information regarding the festival in next week's newsletter.
See you downtown!
