Art Center of Burlington

Come hang out at the Art Center of Burlington tomorrow night, Friday, September 4, for the opening reception of Metaphor & Metamorphosis: Fiber & Fashion Works by artist Judy Bales.

Judy's work brings together fiber, metal, wood, found materials and more, turning unexpected and sometimes industrial materials into pieces inspired by the textures, movement and beautiful messiness of nature. Her work is all about experimenting, improvising and finding beauty in places you might not expect it.

Join us for an evening of art, live music, charcuterie boards and a cash bar. Come see the show, meet Judy and spend a Friday night at ACB!

Free and open to everyone!

The exhibition will be on display September 1–26, 2026.

Come paint your dog or pet in a fun way and help raise funds for Logan and Biscuit! 🦮🐾

Paint It Forward
Saturday, September 26 // 10am-12pm
$40 for Adult Painting (Ages 12+)
$25 for Kid Painting (Ages 5-11)

The Van Zuiden family lived in Burlington for many years and moved to Iowa City about 4 years ago. Logan Van Zuiden was diagnosed with seizures several years ago. After many tests and various medications, Logan’s parents, Michelle and Brent, decided to try a therapy dog to help detect Logan’s seizures. Logan and Biscuit have intense training to do together through Superstar Service Dogs in Marion, Iowa.

The proceeds of our paint it forward will help offset these expenses. We will have an adult painting (ages 12+) and kids painting (5-11) during the same time.
