On Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 2:00pm in the Betty Strong Encounter Center auditorium, actor Tom Milligan performs as Grant Wood: Prairie Rebel. Admission is free, but freewill donations are encouraged.
In this 45-minute, one-man show, Grant Wood chats with the audience as if talking to an old friend across the backyard fence, or maybe at his home at Five Turner Alley in Cedar Rapids. He tells us about his life and how he changed the art world forever with his work. It is the man behind American Gothic that we hear and see, and the story of how he took the moments, the memories and the people of our state to show the whole world the specialness of this Iowa. After the presentation, the audience is encouraged to ask questions about Grant Wood and his life.
