Art & Write Night
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm (CST)
Where: 39-53 East Jefferson Street, Iowa City, IA US 52240

Join the long, rich, historical tradition of artists creating in our spaces.

Professional, aspiring, and amateur artists alike, make our museum your muse. The return of this popular program series welcomes guests into the Museum of Natural History's magical gallery spaces after-hours to work on sketching or writing projects with other campus and community artists.

Tell a friend, grab a notebook, and join us on the first Friday of each month. We'll provide a new inspo prompt for each session and will sometimes move about the Museum but we'll always start in the Hageboeck Hall of Birds (Bird Hall) on the third Floor of Macbride Hall. Join anytime between 6-8 p.m. and feel free to participate in a themed creation challenge or work on your own project with our exhibits as inspiration. We'll save the last 15-30 minutes of each session to share what we've been working on, connecting with others (optional, of course!).


Please note, the Museum is typically closed during this time, meaning the main entrance to Iowa Hall (atop the large staircase outside on the east side of Macbride Hall) will be closed and locked. All other building doors will be open, offering access to the Ground Floor of Macbride Hall. Bird Hall is located on the third floor of Macbride Hall and can be reached by stairs or by taking the elevator to the third floor and crossing the auditorium to the north side of the building.

The Hawkeyes set the tone early with a 28-yard field goal from Drew Stevens and a 35-yard passing touchdown from Cade McNamara to tight end Luke Lachey in the first quarter. Iowa's defense starred in the second quarter, as it held Iowa State to three points at the end of the half and scored a touchdown off a 30-yard interception from defensive back Sebastian Castro.

In the only night game at Kinnick this season, 4-1 Iowa faced Michigan State in a midseason Big Ten matchup. After leading 10-9 at halftime, the Hawkeyes were down 16-10 after the Spartans scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery early in the third quarter. The Hawkeyes then tied the game with a pair of field goals from Drew Stevens, including a season-long strike of 53 yards. Late into the fourth quarter, star defensive back and punt returner Cooper DeJean would give Iowa a 23-16 lead following an electric 70-yard punt return touchdown. Iowa would kick one more field goal to increase the lead to 26-16, sealing the win for the Hawkeyes. There goes that man!! @cdejean23 x #Hawkeyes pic.twitter.com/g6rfgRSY5V?

The defensive spark would lead to a touchdown from tight end Addison Ostrenga. Northwestern would tie the game with a touchdown near the end of the fourth.

In the last game of the regular season, Iowa played Nebraska on Black Friday. After going into the fourth quarter tied at 10-10, the Hawkeyes continued their trend of late-game heroics and found a way to win when it mattered most. After a turnover gave the Huskers the ball with under a minute left, the Hawkeyes made three crucial plays with under 20 seconds left. The first was an interception from defensive lineman Ethan Hurkett with just 15 seconds left in the game. On the next play, Iowa handed it off to Leshon Williams, and he scampered 22 yards to Iowa in field goal range. The final play of the game would come from an unlikely source. Iowa's backup kicker, Marshall Meeder, would attempt his first kick of the season. Earlier in this game, Nebraska blocked two field goal attempts from Drew Stevens, which influenced the decision to put in the backup for a potential game-winning kick. Sure enough, Meeder made the field goal that gave Iowa its 10th win of the season. The Pick. The Kick. @ethan_H116 x @Meeder23 #Hawkeyes pic.twitter.com/qDooviv7H0?

The show, debuted in Iowa's third game of the season, depicts Caitlin Clark celebrating after making a basket. The halftime show was featured on ESPN, Bleacher Report, and Sports Illustrated.
