WRITTEN BY AMANDA LENSING Museum From Amanda Lensing, Senior Living Communities Program Coordinator at the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, has been working from home since late March. Known for her successful senior outreach program that brings art discussions, art activities, and local artists to senior living communities and groups in the Corridor, Lensing had to quickly figure out how to reach her audience.

Topics include: Art conservation • The Gardner Museum Theft • Walt Disney’s Destino The Museum of the Moving Image • The story of Salvador Dalí Discussions and tours of Jim Henson’s work Stanley collection favorites like Jackson Pollack’s Mural and Elizabeth Catlett
