DuMA is proud to host the 25th year of this highly anticipated and celebrated exhibition. The 2024 citywide high school exhibition features two and three dimensional works by students from Dubuque’s three high schools: Senior, Hempstead and Wahlert.
An opening reception will be held Thursday, April 11 from 4-6 PM. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
Photovoice is a a storytelling technique used to put the camera in the hands of people to explore and share their perspectives on a certain topic or subject. CSEI’s mission of addressing homelessness and housing instability is the reason we are focusing on the prompt of @Home. Home could be your favorite place to be or a place you wish you didn’t need to be, it could be a community, a pet, or a person. The CSEI Photovoice wants to exhibit the various perspectives of what @Home means to our community.
Dubuque artist E. E. Kono discusses the work in her solo exhibition, Drift: Recent Works by E. E. Kono, with a reception to follow. Kono shares how landscape, history, and myth inform her approach to creating new work using traditional techniques like egg tempera and silverpoint. Reception to follow in the lobby.
