A new art exhibit of poetry broadsides will be on display at Sunrise Galleries, 114 E 2^nd Street, in Downtown Muscatine.

The new art show is an exhibit of Poetry Broadsides, winners (mostly) of the James Hearst Poetry Prize, interpreted by artist-printer Julie Russell-Steuart. Broadside letterpress work was done by Caveworks Press & the North American Review. Julie Russell-Steuart’s work will be on exhibit through February 6.  She will be at Sunrise Galleries for her show’s closing weekend to host a poetry reading on Friday, February 4 at 7PM and a poster-printing workshop on Saturday, February 5 from 12-4PM.

Julie Russell-Steuart was awarded a FY2022 grant from the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts for her project Power of the Press IOWA.  Her poster printing workshop and talk on February 5 will teach participants how to use the power of the press to advocate for their own important ideas and causes. More information about Julie and her project can be found on Instagram @powerofthepress.
