BETTENDORF, Iowa — Artwork that celebrates women's empowerment is on display around the Quad Cities. Quad City Arts has worked with other institutions to celebrate the movement and highlight female artists.
Through September and October, there's an exhibition at the Quad City International Airport called "A Portrait of Remarkable Women" which features pieces from about a dozen artists, including Heidi Hernandez from Davenport and Cecile Houel from Fort Madison.
Houel's collection is called "Nobel Peace Prize Collection: Peace Starts Within," which celebrates those who have been honored with the prize.
