It is a rare happening in a city the size of Iowa City to have two jewels in its crown. The University of Iowa Hancher Auditorium and the Center for Human Rights are these rare entities that have for decades had significant impact on Iowa City, statewide, nationally and globally.
The original Hancher Auditorium opened in 1972, hosting world-class artists. The auditorium was home to an array of University of Iowa student performances as well as community events, commencements and more. Hancher for the past 49 years and under the leadership of director Chuck Swanson since 2002 earned an international reputation as a commissioner of new work in a number of artistic disciplines.
