Art Exhibit: The Promise of Life- In Memory of Stephen Metcalf
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is honored to exhibit, posthumously, the paintings of Stephen Metcalf. This exhibition acts as a celebration of the artist, and his work, who passed away August 19, 2020. Due to the Derecho, a natural disaster that devastated the city of Cedar Rapids that same month, the gallery was unable to properly acknowledge his passing and is celebrating his life and art one year later.</p><p>On display in the show are Stephen’s recent oil paintings on paper as well as early works (c.1980). While the gallery is paying homage to the artists work, this exhibition is not a retrospective of his overall body of work.</p><p>"Simply put, I believe my work is about the act of painting. My paintings, which are non-objective, have influences in the environment. As a painter, my journey is one of discovery through the exploration of ideas, materials, and process. My techniques, which are my own, were not learned or invented in order to paint but were discovered through the act of painting. Each painting is a record of my journey and I invite you to engage in your own personal dialogue with them."</p><p>Born in Chicago, Stephen Metcalf grew up in the Midwest. As a child he practiced drawing and painting and by the time he started art school at the University of Illinois his drafting skills could mimic photographs. Frustrated by the tedious nature and predictability of this process, he decided to reinvent himself as an artist and as a graduate printmaking student at the University of Illinois he produced mixed media paintings and large scale works on paper that were recognized by their inclusion in major exhibitions like <em>Drawings USA 77</em> at the Minnesota museum of art and <em>Works on Paper</em> at the Art Institute of Chicago. After receiving his MFA in Art and Design, Stephen produced hundreds of paintings which are represented in public, private, and corporate collections throughout the United States, including the Illinois State Museum, the Minnesota Museum of Art, the Kirkwood Center Hotel, the U.S. Military Hospital on Nellis Airbase, and the Cleveland Clinic.</p><p>A reception will be held at the gallery September 17<sup>th</sup>, 2021 from 5:00-7:30pm. *Event details regarding COVID-19 below. <em>The Promise of Life</em> is in the Second Floor Gallery and will share the same reception as Fred Easker’s solo exhibition “Meditations on Moments in the Landscape” in the Main Exhibition space on the first floor.</p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

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> 2021-09-24 16:00:00 -0500

Licorice Schtick: Red Cedar Chamber Music
<p>Red Cedar Chamber Music’s Directors and core ensemble, violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian are joined by clarinetist Christine Bellomy and violist Elizabeth Oakes for a program of works by living composers.</p><p>This is Christine Bellomy’s third appearance as guest artist with Red Cedar, having performed two previous trio programs with the core ensemble. This program adds violist Elizabeth Oakes and includes 5 works for clarinet, violin, viola, and cello by living composers. Oakes is the Director of the University Iowa String Quartet Residency program and the former violist of the Maia Quartet.</p><p>Among the five living composers with works on the program are two women, Gwyneth Walker (b. 1947) and Natalie Hunt (b. 1985). Walker is a former faculty member at Oberlin Conservatory and is retired to her hometown in Connecticut. Her work A Cup of Rejoicing opens the program. Hunt is an exciting young composer living in New Zealand. Jeff Smallman (b. 1965) is a versatile Canadian composer. Both he and Hunt have written multi-movement works for clarinet quartet that represent very different styles.</p><p>Two Iowa composers have contributed works to the program. Jerry Owen, Red Cedar’s first composer-in-residence, has arranged his 1994 work Licorice Brittle (originally for clarinet and piano) for the ensemble. The work was premiered by Christine Bellomy and has tremendous energy and an intricate texture. Michael Kimber, Red Cedar’s current (6<sup>th</sup>) composer-in-residence has written Four Chorinhos for Little Brazilian Birds for the program. Choros is an instrumental Brazilian music genre akin to New Orleans jazz. Each movement is dedicated to an endangered Brazilian songbird. Kimber’s Chorinhos are as colorful as the birds that inspired them.</p><p>The September-October series of concerts is made possible by the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the City of Marion, the Iowa Arts Council, the McIntyre Foundation, the Giacoletto Foundation, AEGON Transamerica Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, CRST International. Additional support comes from United Fire Group, Farmers State Bank, Hills Bank, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and Friends of Red Cedar Chamber Music.</p><p><em>Special thanks to Artist Sponsors Juanita Dennert and ImOn Communications</em></p> 2021-09-07 20:10:00 -0500

York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues
<p>On Tuesday July 6, 2021, the Iowa Masonic Library will open a new exhibit that will feature the York Rite of Freemasonry. The exhibit, titled “York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues,” will show the history of the York Rite, one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry. Using regalia, photographs, and documents from the collection of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, visitors will be able to trace the history of the Royal Arch, The Cryptic Rite, and the Knights Templar from the late 18<sup>th</sup> century to the present day.</p><p> </p><p> The symbolism of the York Rite continues the story of the construction of Solomon’s Temple, the second Temple, the search for the “Lost” word, and the chivalric orders. The term “York” is used as a reference to York, England where the first guilds of stonemasons were organized, perhaps as early as 600 A.D. The exhibit will continue through the end of the year.</p><p><br></p><p> The Iowa Masonic Library and Museums are open for tours Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The library is open for research by appointment only. For more information, or to schedule a group tour, please contact Bill Kreuger at 319-365-1438 or <a href="mailto:bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org">bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org</a> .</p> 2021-09-28 16:00:00 -0500
