Coming up on Life & Times...
For the week of May 4
The popular Tour of Homes in the Broadway District of Rock Island is back after a year hiatus and it is, as they say, “bigger and better than ever.” We’ll take you on a sneak peak inside several of the homes on the tour and find out what is new this year from previous years.
The popular exhibit on the Civil War at the Putnam Museum in Davenport is also back. It was placed in temporary storage to make room for a traveling exhibit on Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci has moved on and “Bloodlines: Our Ties to the Civil War” is back. It has also won an award from the State of Iowa, and we’ll fill you in on those details. In the Creators segment, Ralph Iaccarino interviews a photographer who blends traditional and the latest digital techniques in her work.
Finally, survivors of the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda who are members of a dance troupe celebrate life through song and dance during their Quad City Arts residency.
