“MY YEARS AT SEA” Artist Talk by Photographer Ron Testa
Dubuque Camera Club Talk
Dubuque Camera Club members Bob Felderman, Ronald Tigges, and Stephonie Schmitz will present a program about war photography and the use of the camera from the Civil War through the Vietnam War—the era when the Rolleiflex, 35mm, Leica, Nikon, and Canon cameras were introduced.
Biennial Artist Conversation
A Conversation with Joyce Polance
Tune in at 1:00 pm on Facebook or YouTube to watch the live premier of our virtual conversation between Artist Joyce Polance and DuMA’s Director of Education, Margaret Buhr.
The two will discuss Polance’s current exhibition of 14 oil paintings made since 2015, in which the artist expresses deeply felt, dark emotions through the visual forms of landscapes and cityscapes. These expressionistic paintings meld realism with abstraction, and focus on movement, energy, and emotion. Natural and urban landscapes take on human characteristics that reflect our uncertain times.

DuMA will stay open late with local artist Tim Olson Friday, June 4th. Stop by to meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments with a cash bar.
Our current exhibitions close the following week, so don’t miss your chance to view them in person.
