• Mauricio Lasansky: Master Printmaker

  <p>The Museum is fortunate to be able to dedicate four galleries to the work of consummate printmaker, Mauricio Lasansky. Making prints for more than 65 years--first in his native Argentina, then in New York City, and for more than 55 years in Iowa City, Iowa--Lasansky's generous gift of prints in the 1980s and 1990s made it possible for the Museum to present a wide range of the artist's works, changing all four galleries every six months. Best known for large-scale prints in which he uses multiple plates and full ranges of color, Lasansky combines a spectrum of graphic techniques including etching, drypoint, aquatint, and engraving. Throughout his stylistic evolution, he created eloquent figural statements that are colorful, fresh, and spontaneous. </p> 2022-01-18 16:00:00 -0600

• Soul Care: Creative Arts Grief Support Group with Prairiewoods

  <p>Take time to connect with others in grief and engage the creative spark. Jamie Siela, LISW, and Kristine Shultis, MDiv, LMT, CHT, 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 online to explore a different creative art medium. In January, we will use our time together to decorate a reusable canvas bag. We will use a cardstock silhouette in a pattern of our choice and be creative with paint. We may choose a heart to represent the space in our hearts still held by our loved ones, a peace sign to represent the peace we continue to strive for, or a mourning dove to symbolize a spiritual messenger of peace, love and faith. Registration is required by noon eight days in advance. Group art kits will be mailed one week prior to the session. Please note that this group is now meeting only online. 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> 2021-12-13 19:00:00 -0600

• Go Deeper Thursdays at Prairiewoods

  <p>Go Deeper Thursdays emerged in the context of the global pandemic, or as Prairiewoods calls it, the <em>PanDeepening.&nbsp;</em>Our reflective and lively Thursday conversations opened us to spiritual deepening, providing a sacred space to share our PanDeepening awareness, a place where we explored venues for collective presencing and delving into the wider “We” space. As our journey meandered through topics associated with inter-breathing and collective consciousness, we embraced diverse resources for consideration. Through simple breathing meditations, poetry, practicing mindfulness, storytelling, re-languaging, listening to creation’s song and many small group experiences, we have been learning to read the collective and listen deeply to our emergent, inter-connected wisdom. In the process, we are becoming more expansive, more inclusive, recognizing our place in the wider “We.” Who is this “We” that we mean? It is wider than our own ego or individual selves, wider than our most intimate circles, our community, work, worship and social circles, and wider even than our human community. It is no less than the “We” of all creation. These conversations hosted by Prairiewoods via Zoom are facilitated by Ellen Bruckner and Laura Weber. To explore our January-February topic, Embracing an Ecological Civilization, sign up online to receive the Zoom link. A one-time registration for January-February is required. The cost is $10 per month. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-12-15 17:00:00 -0600
