SUMMARY:Hero: The Boy From Troy – 10 am - Stephens Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:A New Musical About Young John Lewis\nJayden is stuck in detention with a book about Congressman John Lewis\, but he thinks that history has nothing to teach him. Together we go on a musical journey through the decades that shows how the heroes in the Civil Rights movement inspired John Lewis to protest injustice and get into ‘good trouble.’ As a boy\, John dreams of being a preacher who can help others. While he doesn’t have a congregation yet\, he does have a loyal group of singing chickens that listen to him as he finds his voice. On a harrowing road trip through the South\, John’s eyes and mind are opened to the injustices of segregation and racism\, inspiring him to take action. As John meets Rosa Parks and Dr. King and ultimately becomes a leader and American hero himself\, Jayden learns how he too can take a stand. From the same creative team as Jabari Dreams of Freedom\, including playwright Nambi E. Kelley and music and lyrics by Joe Plummer. \nShow dates: Feb 17\, starting at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Gathering of Artists - Ames Community Arts Council
DESCRIPTION:The next Gathering of Artists\, hosted by the Ames Community Arts Council\, will be held on Tues.\, Jan. 28 from 6 – 8 p.m. Join us at the Gallery in the Round in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames (1015 Hyland Ave.\, Ames) to enjoy the work of artist Mindy Buyck. \nArtists and art enthusiasts of all types are invited to the Gatherings\, where they can meet local artists\, get feedback\, get inspired\, and have fun. The Gatherings are free and open to all. There will be a short presentation by the artist at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. \nMindy Buyck says about her work\, “I work in photography and alcohol ink. Photography is precise with boundaries governed by the laws of physics. Alcohol ink\, on the other hand\, is chaotic and loose in nature. In embracing this dichotomy\, which to me is very symbolic of the universe as a whole\, I find a sense of connection.” The photography and mixed-media exhibit will be on display from Sat.\, Jan. 18 through Sat.\, Mar. 15\, 2025. The Gallery in the Round is open to visitors during open office/gallery hours (Mon. – Tues.\, 9 a.m. to noon; Wed. – Thurs.\, 1 to 4 p.m.\, or at other times by appointment. To make an appointment\, call the Fellowship office at 515-292-5960. \nThe monthly Gathering of Artists is hosted by the Ames Community Arts Council and made possible with the support of the City of Ames Commission on the Arts [COTA]. If you would like more information about participating in or hosting a gathering\, please contact the Ames Community Arts Council by e-mailing info@amesart.org\, visiting the website at www.amesart.org\, or calling 515-259-0494.
