Performing Arts
The performing arts have always played a role in Project Art and have a vital presence at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.
If you are interested in performing at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, please contact Amanda Lee Ryan, Project Art Visual & Performing Arts Facilitator, at [email protected].
The University of Iowa School of Music
Project Art encourages you to experience the talent at the University of Iowa School of Music! They invite you to enjoy a front-row seat at their live performances, no matter where you are. Their numerous ensembles, made of UI students, faculty, and community members, present 400+ concerts and recitals every academic year, and they invite you to find delight and comfort in their talents!
Join them for a livestream during an actual concert, or watch recorded concerts for free, any time, on the UI School of Music website.
At Home Concert Series
During 2020, unable to plan live musical performances on-site at the hospital due to COVID-19, Project Art came up with a way to uplift the hospital community – patients, visitors, and staff – with this series of recorded performances by Mark Bernat, previous Performing Arts program manager, and his talented musical family and friends from his own home.
