Bank of America, Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank cardholders can receive free general admission to the Figge Art Museum in Davenport and Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines on Saturday and Sunday, June 7-8.
The Figge is located at 225 W. Second St. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The museum building now is lit up at night with more than 1,000 powerful, full-color LED lights. Those lights are part of a new $4 million project called “Evanescent Field”. It’s the largest public art installation in Iowa.
Designed by internationally acclaimed artist Leo Villareal, the permanent light installation is now transforming the Figge and the Quad Cities skyline into a vibrant new Midwest landmark, according to Figge leaders.
Through Museums on Us, Bank of America provides its cardholders with free access during the first full weekend of every month to artistic and cultural experiences in Iowa at celebrated institutions ranging from art, children’s and history museums to aquariums, botanical gardens, and science centers.
This is one example of how the bank says it strengthens the local communities it serves in. It also creates greater cultural understanding and expands accessibility to the arts.
