Art Exhibit: Rhythm in Bloom
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is delighted to present <em>Rhythm in Bloom</em>, a solo exhibition of recent abstract artworks by beloved Cedar Rapids artist, Ann Royer.</p><p><br></p><p>Ann Royer is a multidisciplinary artist with more than 60 years of artmaking experience. Among her wide repertoire, Royer’s abstracts are best known for growing tendril lines, sweeping bold blocks of color, voluminous shapes filled with patterns, and sharp geometry. She says of her work, “I have always thought each person looks at art bringing with them their own experiences, which governs what they see.” Although, her inspirations do not directly link to instrumentation, <em>Rhythm in Bloom</em> is a curated collection of artworks that evokes parallels to music and pay homage to spring growth. </p><p><br></p><p>Royer’s studio is filled with the sound of symphony; more often than not, the classical radio station is playing. Intertwined is the experience of viewing the artworks and listening to the harmony surrounding them. They are inseparable in that moment, and it is difficult not to ‘see’ the music after its life begins in a gallery setting.</p><p><br></p><p>While some compositions feel like compression or expansion of a staff of notes, others appear to visually represent free jazz. It’s fun to imagine melodic monochromatics and tapered stripes acting as staccato, creating space for a key change from warm to cool. The violin plays the tendril lines, the brass section punctuates with bold blocks of color. These energetic forms incidentally create shapes that blossom with the appearance of dancing. All the pieces themselves exude a spring-like aura of new growth with luminous colors. Artworks presented in this exhibition are paintings on canvas as well as sculptures in bronze.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403. For hours and more information visit <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com">http://www.gildedpeargallery.com</a>–or- call: 319-366-0205</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Gallery operations during the COVID-19 pandemic:</strong></p><p>Private viewing appointments can be made by contacting the gallery via email or phone.

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris
<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint. This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-04-16 16:00:00 -0500

Love Letters
<p dir="ltr">Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards and continues through a lifetime. </p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years-where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of "good schools." While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved and it makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years-physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.</p> 2021-03-24 20:30:00 -0500

Jamie Siela, LISW, and Christine Wagner-Hecht, MDiv, from Unity Point Hospice facilitate this monthly grief group open to anyone grieving loss through death. On the third Wednesday of each month, come together on Zoom to explore a different creative art medium. In March we will make a peaceful pillowcase. Sometimes we need a reminder of calm and safety before going to bed at night or first thing in the morning when we rise. We will use our time together to decorate a rest easy pillowcase with pictures that make us feel safe and calm, positive affirmations and memory symbols. We will meet online via Zoom. Group art kits will be mailed one week prior to the session, so registration is required by the previous Tuesday. This group is free and includes all art supplies. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-04-28 19:00:00 -0500

This event discusses available opportunities and identifies gaps in support for these unheard voices.</p><p>Register for the event at: <a href="http://bit.ly/IOVoices">bit.ly/IOVoices</a></p><p>This event is sponsored by the City of Iowa City Human Rights Commission, University of Iowa Liberal Arts Beyond Bars and University of Iowa Center for Human Rights.</p> 2021-03-17 14:00:00 -0500
