HARTMAN VISITING ARTIST

​The Visiting Artist program is an opportunity for professional or novice artists of all disciplines and ages to experience a creative endeavor inspired by nature. Applications are available on this page during application time, which begins on the first business day of April. Deadline is May 15, 4:30 PM, at Hartman Reserve. ​The selected artist or ensemble will receive a cash award and the opportunity to present a program, show, or performance at Waterloo Center for the Arts and Hearst Center for the Arts. Please call 319-277-2187 with any questions.

Children's Listening Walk

The Children's Listening Walk was developed for children of all ages to experience the sounds, rhythms, and even the silence found outdoors. Nature is a symphony--just listen and play along! The walk was created by Dr. Hannah Porter Occeña, the 2020 Hartman Reserve Visiting Artist. You can learn about Hannah's experiences as Visiting Artist and listen to her play flute below.

We're excited to announce our Hartman Reserve Visiting Artist for 2020, Dr. Hannah Porter Occeña! Hannah presently is Assistant Professor of Flute at UNI and Principal Flute with the Topeka Symphony Orchestra in Topeka, KS. Her proposal, “A Flute in Nature,” will explore the sounds of nature as expressed through the sound of the flute.
