Iowa Now - Friday, March 3, 2017
Some of the great performing artists from around the world already have graced the Hancher Auditorium stage since its grand opening in September. On March 6, however, the new building will become a visual arts gallery filled with works created by the youth of Iowa City, Coralville, Hills, and North Liberty.
The Hancher Guild Youth Art Show, which began in 1983 and was held annually until floodwaters destroyed the original Hancher Auditorium in 2008, is making its return to the University of Iowa campus. Reinstating the longstanding tradition always was part of the plan as the new Hancher was being built.
Iowa City Press Citizen - Tuesday, February 28, 2017
Hancher Auditorium executive director Chuck Swanson knows that Hancher itself is a work of art.
Soon, the 191,977 square-feet auditorium will be welcoming hundreds of more art pieces thanks to the hard work of students throughout the Iowa City area.
The Hancher Guild Youth Art Show will return to Iowa City for the first time in nine years. Starting Monday, hundreds of works of art created by students from kindergarteners to high school seniors throughout the Iowa City area will be displayed inside the auditorium.
