Museum to host second rooftop concert on Saturday with help from RME

DAVENPORT, Iowa (May 8, 2018) — It isn’t every day a band takes to a rooftop in the Quad Cities to play a concert. It will happen for the second time with the return of the Putnam’s free rooftop concert on Saturday, May 12.

The museum will host musicians with the River Music Experience, honoring the memory of the late American rocker Tom Petty.

Artists Heidi Brandt and Dee Schricker are joining forces with the Beréskin Gallery. Brandt and Schricker will be closing their Boho Chic Gallery in May. Brandt is moving to the Iowa City area and Schricker has decided to spend more time in her studio and exhibiting at area art fairs. Both hope to expand their sales to the Iowa City market. “We have grown so much as artists during our time at Bucktown.

I am pleased to announce that voting for the 2018 Congressional Art Contest has begun! The high school student you select as the 2018 People’s Choice Award winner will represent Iowa’s Second District and have his or her art work displayed for one year in the tunnel leading to the U.S. Capitol. There is no doubt that it is going to be a tough choice for you to make. With so many talented artists in our high schools, you have a lot of high quality pieces to choose from.
