DCFAS Elisha Darlin Arts Award

Friday, April 29, 2011 @ 7:00 PM
Stone Cliff Winery

DCFAS Elisha Darlin Arts Award: Margaret Buhr Award Celebration, Friday, April 29 Stone Cliff Winery Barrel Room Each year, the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society (DCFAS) presents the Elisha Darlin Arts Award in recognition of the contributions of an inpidual or group to the arts and cultural landscape of the community. Past recipients include artists in a variety of media, arts organizers, advocates, educators, patrons, and those involved in the promotion of arts and culture. This year, Fine Arts Society presents the Elisha Darlin Arts Award to Margaret Buhr, director of education at the Dubuque Museum of Art. An Award Celebration to honor Buhr is scheduled for Friday, April 29 from 7 p.m. in the Barrel Room at Stone Cliff Winery in the Star Brewery. 

In her role as director of education at the Dubuque Museum of Art, Buhr has quietly served the area art community for nearly 15 years. Buhr coordinates all classes hosted at the museum, developing the curricula as well as teaching the classes, cultivating the creativity of generation of young artists. She hosts a variety of school groups, coordinating and leading tours of the museum. Buhr schedules programming for the museum’s regular Family Matinee Series, arranging free, family-friendly performances, lectures, and activities by a variety of artists. Maybe most impressively, Buhr has conducted all the background research and writes the scripts for the museum’s very popular Dead Artist Series, providing local actors the tools and background necessary to bring to life a famous dead artist. 

Fine Arts Society will also present a special award to playwright and Clarke University professor Gary Arms for his volunteer service to the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society.  For many years, Arms has spearheaded the management of the Dubuque Fine Arts Players in the group’s annual One Act Play Competition.  

An annual award presented by the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society, the Elisha Darlin Arts Award honors an inpidual or group that has made an outstanding contribution to the arts.  Named for the late Elisha Darlin, an educator and founding board member of Fine Arts Society, past recipients of the award include Ruth and Russ Nash, Sue Riedel, Lenore Howard and Doug Donald, Sue Flogel, Bob Woodward, Gail Chavenelle, Sandye Voight, Brian Hughes, Gene Tully, Fran and Ellen Henkels, former Dubuque City Councilwoman Ann Michalski, and the Dubuque Cultural Preservation Committee among many others.  Last year’s recipient was musician and longtime radio host of Midwest Music Makers Denny Garcia. 

The arts community and general public are invited to join Margaret and the Fine Arts Society at the Elisha Darlin Arts Award Celebration Friday, April 29 from 7 p.m. in the Barrel Room at Stone Cliff Winery. Kids are welcome, and reservations are not necessary.  Admission to the Award Celebration will be $10 at the door ($5 for kids 12 and under) and will include an hors d’oeuvres reception followed by the award presentation.  A cash bar will be available.

When I first saw the news about the sneak preview gala of the new film The Best and the Brightest, I thought it was an adaptation of David Halberstam's book about the Vietnam War. My wife called, excited about the film preview. Later she called back to inform me that the film wasn't about Vietnam at all, but rather about New York City's elite private kindergartens and a young couple from Delaware trying to get their five-year-old daughter into an exclusive school. We attended the preview screening anyway since my wife wanted to hear the Q&A. The film was mediocre. Neil Patrick Harris, who was brilliant in Hedwig on Broadway, felt underutilized here. The premise of Jeff and Samantha's school admission struggles after moving to NYC stretched credibility too far, resembling a low-budget National Lampoon or American Pie spin-off. The deadpan performances from NPH and newcomer Peter Serafinowicz elevated the material somewhat. At best, it was a mediocre movie with outstanding performances. I've decided to reread Halberstam's book - now that's truly incredible writing. Julian Marsh

The Julien International Film Festival Dubuque will offer entertainment and education opportunities that enrich the community through film arts and create a positive economic impact to a multiplicity of local businesses. Following this first inaugural JIFFD screening, additional screenings will be held throughout the year to provide the community film themed events and to raise funds and awareness of the four day JIFFD festival scheduled for April 19 – 22, 2012.

u.d. performing arts presents sane merritt

Thursday, April 21, 2011 @ 7:30 PM
Blades Auditorium, U.D.

The University of Dubuque Fine and Performing Arts Department presents a program of music by Dubuque musician and composer Zane Merritt, Thursday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Dubuque’s Blades Auditorium. The program of contemporary music will include the world premiere of two of Merritt’s pieces: Poison Sawada, commissioned by the UD Band, featuring trumpeter Tiffiney Kavars, and Hot Cola, featuring cellist Jesse Luke. Other compositions to be presented by the UD Band will include Secret Pictures of the Moon, Shards, Obsess, and In Memorium Brooks Frederickson, premiered in 2010 by the Outside Orchestra of Indianapolis. The program will also include Merritt’s several jazz works, including Chris’s Funk and Chris’ Jig, dating back to his study with Bill Rowley, Director of Bands at Dubuque Senior High School, and will feature members of the Crazy Eights, Brad Tigges on drums and sax soloist Chris Healey, from the University of Iowa Medical School. Merritt’s contemporary jazz works Mattock and 9:15 will be performed by the UD Jazz Ensemble. An award-winning composer, Zane Merritt recently received a Presidential Fellowship for doctoral study at the University of Buffalo, State University of New York, which “has for decades enjoyed a reputation as one of a handful of departments in North America dedicated to contemporary musical creation at the highest level.” Merritt earned music degrees in guitar and composition from Clarke University and Butler University. He has appeared as guitar soloist with the UD Jazz Ensembles on numerous occasions, and has often been seen sitting in with ‘Round Midnight at their weekly jazz jams.

jazz night with ‘round midnight

Thursday, April 21, 2011 @ 9:00 PM

Bank Bar & Grille

Jazz Night with ‘Round Midnight
The Bank Bar & Grille
Every Thursday, 9 p.m.

Keeping both the jazz jam and open mic traditions going on Thursdays, The Bank Bar & Grille hosts the weekly Jazz Night with ‘Round Midnight every Thursday from about 8:30 p.m. A tradition that started on Tuesday nights back in the heyday that was Isabella’s, Jazz Night may have switched weeknights and venues, but is still hosted by ‘Round Midnight and still draws a variety of guest players of all varieties. The rhythm section of Pab Adams on drums, Bill Encke on guitar, and Aaron Pustina on acoustic bass provides the backbone for the weekly excursion which ranges from early jazz classics to more contemporary arrangements – a fine structure on which to add trumpets, trombones, saxophones, or other guest instrumentalists or singers. From established jazz masters to college kids, if you can follow the chart and take a solo you’re welcome to join the jam.

As the dancers move from the soft shoe portion of the show to rhythmic hard shoe dancing, you’ll find yourself clapping along and stomping your feet to the music.

After the dancers have completed their routine, the live entertainment continues.  On Friday and Saturday night, the Pub rings with excitement as talented musicians take the stage.

Two 20 minutes sets between 6:00-8:00 pm (Memorial Day Weekend through end of October)

More Background On 365RegionalNetwork.com

 

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, as communities across the United States grappled with the rapid evolution of digital media, a new type of regional platform began to emerge—one that blended local journalism, cultural promotion, civic engagement, and emerging web technologies into a single digital ecosystem. Among these early experiments was 365RegionalNetwork.com, a community-focused web platform rooted in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, particularly serving Dubuque, Iowa and the surrounding tri-state region of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Unlike traditional tourism websites or municipal portals, 365RegionalNetwork.com positioned itself as a living, breathing community network—a place where arts, culture, events, local business, civic initiatives, and regional identity converged. It was not merely an events calendar or a marketing site; it functioned as a hybrid of a digital town square, content management system, and community-building framework.

This article explores the origins, purpose, structure, cultural role, and lasting significance of 365RegionalNetwork.com, placing it in historical context and examining how it reflected a broader shift toward regional digital ecosystems in the early 21st century.

Origins and Ownership: A Vision Rooted in Community

365RegionalNetwork.com emerged during a period when many mid-sized American cities were seeking to redefine themselves in the digital age. While large metropolitan areas had access to well-funded media outlets and tech infrastructure, smaller cities often relied on fragmented sources of information—local newspapers, chamber newsletters, bulletin boards, and word of mouth.

The creators of 365RegionalNetwork.com sought to consolidate and modernize that ecosystem.

Foundational Philosophy

At its core, the platform was built around a simple but powerful idea:

Strong communities are built through consistent connection, shared experiences, and accessible information—365 days a year.

This philosophy informed both the name and the mission of the platform. The “365” concept emphasized continuity, daily engagement, and long-term relationship building rather than one-off campaigns or seasonal promotions.

The site’s underlying philosophy blended:

  • Community development theory

  • Digital publishing and content syndication

  • Event-driven engagement

  • Relationship-based marketing

  • Early social networking principles

It was designed to be equally useful for residents, artists, businesses, nonprofits, visitors, and civic organizations.

Geographic Scope and Regional Focus

365RegionalNetwork.com served the Upper Mississippi River Valley, with a strong emphasis on:

  • Dubuque, Iowa

  • Galena, Illinois

  • Eastern Iowa

  • Southwestern Wisconsin

  • Northwestern Illinois

This region—rich in history, arts, tourism, and architectural heritage—has long functioned as a shared cultural and economic corridor rather than a collection of isolated towns.

Proximity and Cultural Overlap

Key communities featured or regularly referenced included:

  • Dubuque, IA

  • Galena, IL

  • Platteville, WI

  • East Dubuque, IL

  • Surrounding Mississippi River towns

The site helped unify audiences across state lines by emphasizing:

  • Shared cultural events

  • Regional tourism initiatives

  • Collaborative arts programming

  • Multi-city festivals and performances

Purpose and Mission

The 365 Philosophy

The site’s mission was grounded in what it referred to as the 365 Advantage, framing community engagement as a year-round effort.

  • Consistency — engagement every day

  • Community empowerment — elevating local voices

  • Accessibility — making culture approachable

  • Technology as an enabler — not a replacement for connection

  • Sustainable growth — long-term cultural and economic vitality

The site emphasized that meaningful community growth requires reliable information, participation, and strong networks.

Content Structure and Features

365RegionalNetwork.com functioned as a multi-layered content hub, advanced for its time.

Event Coverage and Calendaring

The platform featured a comprehensive regional events calendar, including:

  • Arts and music performances

  • Film screenings and festivals

  • Community gatherings

  • Educational programs

  • Live music and cultural events

Listings included editorial context, venue information, and background on performers or organizations.

Arts and Culture Promotion

A major focus of the site was arts and culture, highlighting:

  • Performing arts

  • Film festivals

  • Theater productions

  • Music performances

  • Gallery exhibitions

  • Public art initiatives

It regularly featured:

  • Local artists and musicians

  • University arts programs

  • Regional theater groups

  • Independent film initiatives

  • Community arts organizations

Film and Media Focus

The platform strongly supported regional film culture through:

  • Independent screenings

  • Film festivals

  • Visiting filmmakers

  • Q&A sessions

This positioned the site as an early champion of regional cinema.

Role in Tourism and Economic Development

Regional Tourism Collaboration

The platform worked alongside regional tourism organizations, promoting:

  • Cross-state tourism

  • Regional branding

  • Visitor engagement

  • Arts-driven economic growth

Tourism was framed as a cultural experience rather than a transactional activity.

Business and Organizational Support

The platform supported:

  • Small businesses

  • Arts organizations

  • Nonprofits

  • Educational institutions

It enabled organizations to publish content, promote events, and engage audiences.

Technology and Platform Design

Early CMS and Community Tools

The platform used a modular system known as the 365Advantage, featuring:

  • Content publishing

  • Event calendars

  • Media management

  • User access controls

  • Directories

  • Feedback tools

  • Streaming support

This allowed independent organizations to maintain autonomy while participating in a shared ecosystem.

Forward-Thinking Digital Strategy

The platform anticipated later trends such as:

  • User-generated content

  • Community curation

  • Integrated media publishing

  • Local digital branding

  • Multi-channel engagement

Cultural and Social Significance

Strengthening Regional Identity

The site strengthened regional identity by:

  • Highlighting shared traditions

  • Celebrating local history

  • Supporting creative expression

  • Encouraging civic participation

Supporting the Arts Ecosystem

The platform helped:

Secondary Audience

Legacy and Historical Importance

Although 365RegionalNetwork.com is no longer active, its legacy remains significant.

  • An early model of regional digital networking

  • A pre-social-media community platform

  • A case study in localized digital engagement

  • A cultural archive of early 2010s regional life

Its archived content provides insight into cultural priorities, community organization, and the evolution of digital civic platforms.

Why 365RegionalNetwork.com Still Matters

365RegionalNetwork.com demonstrates how technology can strengthen—not replace—community.

  • The power of regional collaboration

  • The value of consistent cultural storytelling

  • The importance of accessible local content

  • The role of arts in economic vitality

Its relationship-driven approach remains relevant today as communities continue seeking meaningful digital connection.
