SUMMARY:Art for Brunch!
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us at Art for Brunch! Come hang out with us at this monthly meetup for adults of all ages and enjoy thoughtful conversation as we unpack a different work of art each month. A docent will guide the dialogue with questions and prompts\, but each discussion will be as unique and varied as those who attend. We’ll go where the conversation leads us. No art background needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to look a little longer. \n*While we would typically encourage participants to visit the Art Center Café before or after the program\, the Café will be closed Sunday\, October 4 for a private event. We apologize for any inconvenience. \nArt for Brunch! is held on the first Sunday of each month. Free; registration required. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:2026 Fingerman Lecture: Alison Saar
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join the Des Moines Art Center in welcoming artist Alison Saar as the featured speaker of our annual Fingerman Lecture series. Saar’s work examines the place of the female body in the realms of politics and spirituality.

Her art is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Baltimore Art Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her 1997 piece\, “Sweeping Beauty” was added to the Des Moines Art Center’s permanent collection in 2003. \nREGISTER \nThe Fingerman Lecture series is made possible through generous gifts by Lois and the late Dr. Louis Fingerman. Alison Saar is the 36th installment in the series. \nFree; registration required.\nPhoto: Alison Saar
