Grant Wood: Beyond American Gothic | A Pop-Up Gallery & Presentation

For one night only, step into a pop-up museum experience celebrating the rare, early-career works of Iowa’s most iconic artist, Grant Wood.

Renowned local historian and collector Michael Zahs is opening his private collection to display 25 extraordinary items—many of which have never before been seen by the public. Guests will enjoy an intimate look at a wide range of historic pieces, including original lithographs, early paintings, rare dust jackets, crafted silver pieces, and unique artifacts.

During the program, Mr. Zahs will share the stories behind these rare pieces, giving attendees an exclusive glimpse into Grant Wood's early life and artistic journey.

Light refreshments will be served during the presentation.
