 The NXT GEN Arts Expo is tomorrow! Midcoast is proud to provide funding for art supplies to area high schools through this very inspiring pastel mural competition! The artwork will be on display at Bucktown through June and works will be honored by awards during the Final Friday Art Education Celebration, June 24.
The amount of talent our local youth possesses never ceases to amaze us, and we hope programs like this make you proud to call the Quad-Cities home. We can't wait to see what these students create!
Join us tonight (May 27) for Final Friday at Bucktown and check out all of the beautiful artwork from the Venus Envy Closing Reception before it disappears until next year! Star Dog Gallery & Studio is celebrating its one year anniversary this evening, too!
 For the uninitiated, Final Friday is a fun casual event at Bucktown where you can enjoy snacks and drinks as you browse or purchase creative, affordable, unusual and useable works of art. It's a great time, so please visit Bucktown tonight and bring a friend!
 Did you see the great Quad-City Times article about Davenport artist, Ralph Iaccarino? His work is currently being displayed at Midcoast's Gallery West! Stop in to see his work soon or catch it at the last minute during the Closing Reception Party on Friday, June 10.
 All of the Midcoast Galleries across the Quad-Cities feature interesting works of art, and we encourage you to support our local artists by visiting our galleries at Centre Station, RiverCenter, iWireless Center, LeClaire Welcome Center, Gallery West, and Bucktown. Please follow the links for a peek at the works of art currently on display!
Bucktown's birthday will be here before you know it in July, but we'll share more exciting news about Bucktown Bash next month. See you soon!
Have a creative day!
