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.

Test your college football video game skills in a charity tournament at Kinnick Stadium, with proceeds benefiting University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children´s Hospital!

Registration is $25, though all gaming participants must also raise a minimum of $200 to participate in the single-elimination, bracket-style tournament.

The games will be played on PlayStation 5, and participants must be 16 or older. Prizes will be awarded to the top three individual fundraisers and the tournament champion and runner-up.

You can find fundraising resources here.

Registrants who raise at least $200 but are not one of the first 240 to get a bracket spot will still gain access to Duke Slater Field, where they can meet Iowa football players and coaches, hear stories from families who have had a child receive care at Stead Family Children´s Hospital, and more!

Those who raise $500 or more will get to tour the Hawkeyes´ locker room and tunnel.

Not all kids get an honorary locker in the Iowa women?s basketball locker room, but not all kids are like Harper Stribe. PHOTO: Hawkeyesports.com ? ? ? In Nov. 2018, the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation officially paired Harper Stribe with the Hawkeyes. ESPN College GameDay had a special guest this past season?when Harper Stribe, a former Kid Captain and Hawkeye to know and love, walked onto the court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena before the Iowa vs. Indiana women?s basketball game. Harper became a Kid Captain in 2017 while undergoing treatment at University of Iowa Stead Family Children?s Hospital for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that forms in the skeletal muscles. PHOTO: Hawkeyesports.com Harper Stribe shows off her locker at Carver-Hawkeye Arena As a Kid Captain, Harper made a special connection with head coach Lisa Bluder and the entire women?s basketball team. They welcomed her as an honorary member and surprised her with a locker complete with her name and jersey number (No. 10). After 46 weeks of treatment at Stead Family Children?s Hospital, Harper stayed connected to the team and became a fixture at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. But her appearance last week wasn?t a homecoming. In September 2022, Harper?s cancer returned, and she underwent a 14-hour surgery to remove her jaw. Since then, she?s received treatment at Stead Family Children?s Hospital, where a team of medical experts does everything it can to help Harper heal and maintain her childhood. The Stribe family is now at the halfway point for Harper?s second round of treatment. Her dad, Nolan Stribe (15MBA), spoke with ESPN after Harper?s introduction. ?To have a wonderful basketball team to watch and just make it fun and entertaining, but at the same time be a great support system to us?we?re thrilled and flattered,? he said. To support Harper and the Stribe family during her second round of treatment, make a donation to Harper Stribe?s Cancer Battle on GoFundMe. ✅ Walked out to a HUGE applause✅ Made a layup in front of everyone✅ Took a picture with Caitlin ClarkHarper Stribe is a certified superstar 🤩 pic.twitter.com/dUfqwrd5H8?
