"Something Crushed, a Study in Jam", oil on canvas, 14"x14" Johnathan Fusco graduated from Iowa State University in 2014 with a BFA having emphasized in painting and drawing. His work ranges from the surreal or macabre explorations of emotional realities to careful and expressive more natural renderings of the human form. Working almost exclusively in the figurative range lately, Johnathan has been exploring work in a movement referred to as contemporary realism where the story of the creation of a piece is inextricably woven into it. In this way it better captures a unique and distinct energy personal to the artist. He feels this is what the traditional figurative mediums are better at than most any other medium. Come see Johnathan Fusco on Black Friday, Nov. 29th at Capitol Square from 9am to 5pm! He will be there along with countless other talented midwesterners sharing and selling their work! @johnathanfusco SUPPORT IOWA CREATIVES

Tonight's "soft" opening to a packed house left the entire room laughing from start to finish. A non stop line up of one legendary comic after another stepped up to the mic with round after round of applause, whistles and shouts of support. Teehee's is hands down the most intimately comfortable way to enjoy a night out in a sexy place filled with laugh after laugh from incredible comedians. SUPPORT IOWA COMEDIANS

Instagram post 2176635276410136811_3183725558 FRANKLIN JUNIOR HIGH Could Franklin Junior High become a new home for groups displaced by the demise of the Des Moines Social Club? One could only hope. Girls Rock DSM and Harmony Central Chorus are a few of the many organizations to take up residence at the former northwest area high school. On this cold November night in Iowa, the classrooms were filled with chatter from campaign offices, and tech groups. There are big plans underway for Franklin Junior High. Let's all hope they come to fruition. SUPPORT FRANKLIN JUNIOR HIGH
