Held in conjunction with the Davenport venue's current exhibition Simple Pleasures: The Art of Doris Lee, the April 21 celebration Once Upon a Time in Woodstock will find the Figge Art Museum hosting an evening inspired by the community of artists active in Woodstock, New York, during the 1930s and 1940s, and boasting an art talk, an art activity, and even wardrobe art in the colorful outfits sure to be on display.

Dozens of works by gifted student artists will be on display at Rock Island's Quad City Arts Center through April 28 in the expansive 45th Annual High School Art Invitational, a glorious celebration of local talent featuring the Quad Cities’ most promising artists expressing themselves through paintings, drawings, sculpture, metals, ceramics, photography, digital media and film.

Noted 20th-century photographer Aaron Siskind was quoted as saying, "Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever … . It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” This act of remembering will be on glorious display at the Figge Art Museum through July 3, with the Davenport venue housing works previously unseen in the Quad Cities via the arresting exhibition New Photography.

Disparate yet equally arresting works by a pair of Midwestern artists will be on display at the Quad City Arts International Airport Gallery through April 26, with visitors invited to marvel as the paper mosaics of Granite City, Illinois' Alex Paradowski and the papier-mâché sculptures of St. Charles, Missouri's Deanne Row.
