Cultural Events Calendar

“I find uncommon nuances in everyday occurrences & unlikely intersections. Noting the change in density of a shadow when one overlaps another. The power of multiples as a unit versus the fragility of an individual piece. The repetition of lines throughout our surroundings specifically parallels or in a grid formation. The obscurity of transparent layers. With these observations in mind, I make ceramic objects, both functional & sculptural.”

On view: May 8 to June 6, 2026
Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, May 8 from 5 PM- 7 PM

The gathering will be featuring typewriters from community members. Bring your typewriter or grab one that's been gathering dust. If you don't have one, just come and have a drink and admire these machines from a not so bygone era.

When Ann thinks of her father, she immediately remembers playing Peter Pan in her hometown theater in Iowa, particularly when he used to bring her flowers after her performance. Her memory is jogged by the fact that she and her four siblings are in their father’s hospital room during his final moments. His death sparks a conversational wake that includes everything from arguments over politics to when each sibling realized that they grew up. A loving look at a family’s view of death, life, and the allure of never growing up.

The Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026, marking two decades of unforgettable stories, breathtaking landscapes, and a community bound by a passion for fly fishing.

This year’s lineup dives deeper than ever—spotlighting wild places, inspiring conservation stories, and the dedicated individuals who live and breathe fly fishing. Whether you’re a lifelong angler or new to the sport, the 2026 tour delivers a cinematic journey that’s sure to cast a lasting impression.

This milestone season offers a chance for the fly fishing community to come together, swap stories, and immerse themselves in the very best of the sport’s visual storytelling at 400 Robinson.

In addition to the films, attendees can expect exclusive giveaways, special guests, and the kind of camaraderie that only fly fishing can inspire. Join us on May 8.
