Nuance of Color
<p><strong>Nu</strong><strong>a</strong><strong>nce of Color </strong></p><p>New works by</p><p>Michael S. Ryan & Connie Gross</p><p>Michael S. Ryan and Connie Gross have a way with color that is captivating, compelling the viewer to ask themselves, “How did they do that?” The answer? Through nuance of color. Michael paints landscapes and interior views. He is always striving for that perfect mix of color, line, brushwork, size, and harmony that will make that perfect painting...something poetic. Connie paints abstracts, landscapes and florals and inspires the viewer through color, movement, texture and the play of light through positive and negative shapes. The greatest secret artists have, is how they manipulate hue, tint, shade, tone, saturation, luminosity, chromaticity, brightness, grayscale, vanishing boundaries, undertones, glazes, transparency, reversed grounds, illusion, vibration, temperature, and intensity. Even without a full semester of color theory by Joseph Albers, you can see Mike and Connie’s aptitude when you look at their paintings - they work – you don’t know why, but you see it and feel it. I call it magic. The Nuance of Color will run thru December 1, 2018. Black Earth Gallery, 1010 3<sup>rd</sup> Street SE, suite 2, Cedar Rapids, IA. Gallery hours : Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat noon-5:30pm and by appointment.</p> 2018-11-22 17:30:00 -0600

Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p><strong>Terra Nova: Ten Years</strong></p><p>The CRMA celebrates ten years of collaborating with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio. In 2009, the CRMA began meeting with artists who had completed residencies at the Ceramics Center and acquiring a piece of their work—often completed during their residency—for the Museum’s collection. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the artists to establish themselves in a museum collection and receive professional experience with curators while growing the CRMA’s collection of three-dimensional art. The exhibition will display artwork from every resident from 2009 to 2018 and both executive directors, a testament to the fruitfulness of this collaboration.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>April Woolsey, <em>Ascending Blocks</em>, 2003, terracotta, 13 ¼ x 6 1/3 inches, gift of the artist, 2010.037. </p><p><em>This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. Additional support has been provided by the Hotel-Motel Tax Fund, the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, members of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and contributors to the Museum’s Annual Fund.

If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustration
<p>If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children’s Book Illustration<br><br><em>October 6, 2018 – January 13, 2019</em><br><br>Stories about animals have always been a staple of children’s literature. One of the earliest known books aimed at children, the 17th century publication Orbis sensualium pictus, taught children the alphabet by mimicking animal noises. This trope continued in the early- and mid-20th century, called the Golden Age of children’s book illustration. Drawn from the Zerzanek Collection of Original Art from Children's Literature on loan to the CRMA from the Cedar Rapids Public Library, If We Ran the Zoo looks at the various ways animals have shaped children’s literature, from simple science books to loyal pets to fantastical, talking companions.</p><p>Image: </p><p>Walt Sturrock, untitled drawing from <em>Little Chick’s Easter Treasure</em>, 1991, acrylic, 15 ½ x 28 ½ inches, on loan from the Zerzanek Collection of the Cedar Rapids Public Library, L2009.1004.</p> 2018-11-24 16:00:00 -0600

[Insight @ FPC CR] Diversity: We are all the other - Cedar Rapids Today
<p>[Insight @ FPC CR] Diversity: We are all the other - Cedar Rapids Today</p><p>We are living in a time where division is encouraged, yet in a country of immigrants, we have all been “the other.” How do we learn to love our neighbor as ourselves? How can enrichment triumph over conflict? What are the causes? What are the consequences of conflict in the past? What is occurring today? Can’t those believing in Christianity accept those who are different from themselves? When we believe in loving our neighbor, what is our definition of “neighbor?” What should it be?</p><p><br></p><p>Our speaker, Dr. Mary Wilcynski, started her education career in Cedar Rapids at Arthur Elementary in 1975, moved on to Metro High School, retiring after 16 years as principal of Kennedy High School to teach for a few years at Coe College. Please join us from 9 am to 10 am in the Wernimont Room at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Cedar Rapids. These sessions are free and open to the public. </p> 2018-11-13 10:00:00 -060011/25/189:00 a.m.First Presbyterian ChurchCedar Rapids
