Hotel Julien | Dubuque, iowa
Welcome to the Dubuque Museum of Art’s 40th annual Holiday Party & Art Auction—A VERY IMPORTANT PARTY! We are delighted and grateful to you for joining us and supporting the museum.
This year we celebrate our 140th anniversary. The Dubuque Museum of Art is not only the oldest art institution in Dubuque, but the oldest in the state of Iowa.
We are an accredited Art Museum. Our Grant Wood collection is the third largest Wood collection in the world. It is a wonderful representation of Midwest Regionalism. The Edward Curtis Collection includes 722 photogravures of Native Americans. It combines history and art. We support our local artists, provide classes for all ages, care for an extraordinary permanent collection, and present some of the best and most unique arts programming in the area.
Our educational programs include after school and summer classes for children. This year we conducted art therapy outreach programs for Maria House, Teresa Shelter, and Dubuque Nursing and Rehab. Each year we provide a special program called Arts Trek which serves all second graders in the city. Twice a year we offer six-week art history classes during the lunch hour. One of our most popular classes is the Famous Dead Artists series. It is always a standing room only event. Every other year we exhibit high school students’ works from our local high schools. The alternate year we hold our Biennial Juried Exhibition. These shows allow accomplished and aspiring artists to present their work in an accredited Museum.
Our programs provide education, mental and emotional therapy, development of self-confidence, and enjoyment to all.
We know that many of you support us regularly—your memberships, raffle tickets, visitation, and other gifts continue to help us in countless ways. But tonight is special. Your generosity on this one evening will drive our success for many months to come. As you bid, please remember that you’re helping to sustain an exceptional Museum of Art, and you’re helping to make our whole community a more vibrant, thriving, and creative place.
I am most grateful to our VIP sponsors, donating artists, and auction contributors as well as the museum staff and my terrific and enthusiastic auction committee.

VIP happeningsWhile you’re enjoying the cocktail hour and waiting to up your bids in the silent auction, take a few minutes to have your portrait drawn by portrait artist Will Pearsall or caricaturist Derek Gunderson. Sessions are $10 each and can be purchased using your bidder number.
n Will Pearsall, portrait art istI was born in a little town called Milford, DE. I am the youngest
child of sixteen. I knew I could draw at an early age. By junior high
my teachers were keeping my art work and by then I knew that
I had something special. After high school I went to study at the
Philadelphia Art Institute. While attending the Art Institute for
graphic art, I continued to do a lot of commission jobs in the city.
Once I graduated from the Institute I landed a job at a major sign
company called “Steen Outdoors” and was a successful billboard
painter for eighteen years. I also painted murals around the greater
Philadelphia area. After moving to Platteville my sister and I opened
an art gallery in Galena, where I worked as a portrait artist. Later I
moved to Dubuque and opened an art studio where I teach classes
and have my own television show called Art By Will.
n Derek Gunderson, caricature artistDerek Gunderson began drawing caricatures in 1995 at the
Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud, MN. Since then, he has delighted
many people with his drawings at high school graduations, county
fairs, birthday parties, and festivals. He returned to college and
received his BA in fine art with an emphasis in sculpture from
Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2002. Before moving to
Dubuque in 2011, Derek worked for Tivoli Too, a 3D sculpting firm
in St. Paul, MN. There he helped create works for many companies
including: Disney, Nickelodeon Universe, United Features Syndicate,
and Great Wolf Lodge. Gunderson has made several commissioned
sculptures for internationally-known artist Siah Armajani. He also
regularly assists Jessica Teckemeyer with fabricating her animal
sculptures. Currently, he works for McCullough Creative in the
production department.
