6:00 pm · 9:00 pm
The Fairfield Art Association announces a new exhibit, Fairfield Iconic, by photographer Guy Harvey. The exhibit of 20 photographic prints will take place in the Hallway Gallery in the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, opening on Friday, June 6th, from 6 to 9 PM.
Harvey says, “Fairfield Iconic is a series of photographs taken in the downtown area of Fairfield, Iowa, between the years of 2008 and 2023. Each image communicates a sense of place that once served or still serves community life. The images also have an abstract expression of color, shape, and form that has its interest regardless of the identity of the object. I created the images initially for their abstraction and, in particular, their color, but over time the idea of documenting a sense of place became stronger. I have always been attracted to color photography, inspired by the early masters like Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter, who demonstrated the beauty of vivid color in urban settings.”
The exhibit will be showing through June and July.

Why Volunteer With Us?
By joining our kitchen, you're not just preparing meals – you're strengthening our community, one plate at a time. Here's how your contribution makes a difference:
- You'll help create delicious, plant-based meals for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
- Your efforts support our mission to reduce food waste by working with local food systems.
- You'll be part of a welcoming space where community members from all walks of life come together.
We need your help! Our kitchen runs best with 6 volunteers per shift, but often we're operating with just our kitchen director and a few helpers.

FREE ADMISSION
Local filmmaker Amine Kouider will present a special screening of The Land of Nothing, a new surrealist short film ten years in the making.
The film weaves poetic imagery and dreamlike storytelling to follow a poet’s search for his lost muse through a vibrant, colorful, and mystical landscape where the threads between worlds are thin and the boundaries of reality begin to blur.
The film was created as part of the David Lynch MFA in Filmmaking at Maharishi International University and supported by a grant from the Iowa Arts Council.
The screening will include some of Amine’s other creative work and will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker.
