If you are a visual artist with a fresh body of work, a hobbyist who likes to make things for fun with your hands, or otherwise crafty and motivated, please come by our final Night at the Museum event of the semester: Craft-er Hours! In the vein of our new, on-going program, Friday Crafternoons, we'll be putting out supplies for different crafts for you to use. Bring your friends and a work-in-progress to finish in our lobby, or start fresh with a new craft!
As a partial spin on the Crafternoon ethos, we are also hoping to snap a photo of any finished crafts and artworks; if you would like to have your work photographed, or if you want to be in the picture with your piece, please let an event staffer know! In addition, if you have an art-focused Instagram or other socials, you may write down your name and user handle so that we can tag you in a post about the event.
Note: anyone who attends and gets their Student Challenge Card stamped will earn a stamp for the slot marked "Student Showcase," as we have had to alter our initial programming schedule for April.

Once a month, the Stanley hosts events designed to introduce the museum to University of Iowa students through engaging and creative activities. Nights at the Museum events occur on Thursday nights when the museum is open late. These events are planned and developed with the assistance of the Campus Engagement Coordinator, a student employee who works with museum staff to engage student audiences. Information about past Nights at the Museum can be found here. Attending student events also enables students to get a stamp on their Stanley Student Challenge card, which can be redeemed during finals week for a prize.
