Sioux City, Iowa (RI) – The Sioux City Art Center is planning to show off the newly restored Grant Wood Corn Room Mural at its spring fundraiser.
Center director Todd Behrens says it will be the first look at the restored work.
The Corn Mural consists of several large panels painted on wood and was originally on display in the dining room of the old hotel. Art Center curator Christopher Atkins says the mural had been undergoing a two-stage restoration process in Minnesota.
There was even wallpaper put over the mural at one point. Behrens says the celebration of the mural return will have a rural theme and activities that include a social hour, dinner, program and live auction.
The event is scheduled for the atrium of the Art Center on Friday March 20th from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are available through the Art Center.
