Brian Fink and Angie Pickman Art Exhibition
<p>Brian Frink's paintings — whether they are landscapes, animal portraits or oddly shaped ones — contribute to a larger creative dialogue. His diverse yet interrelating styles reveal Frink's ability to render the natural world through intense observation, creative abstraction and improvisation of spatial relationships. Frink will serve as the Spring 2018 Kocher Visiting Artist, which is funded by the Robert and Joan Kocher Visual Arts Endowment.</p><p>Combining cut paper art and animation, Angie Pickman finds inspiration in nature. Intricate details and patterns in silhouetted forms are placed upon hand-cut and colored paper, creating dynamic visual narratives of animals, landscapes and constructed environments. Pickman's exhibition is supported by the Mabel Cherry Lutgerding Endowment.</p><p>Galleries are open 4:00-6:00 PM during exhibitions and are free to the public.</p> 2019-02-18 18:00:00 -06002/18/194:00 p.m.Coe College Sinclair AuditoriumCedar Rapids -

American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times
<p>American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times brings together seventy-seven images culled from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Getty Images, private collections, and the Kennedy family archives. The dramatic scope of Kennedy’s life is evident in these photographs—from his first congressional bid as a decorated war hero in 1946, his fairytale marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, his run for the White House in 1960 and role as commander in chief, to the tragedy of his death in Dallas in 1963. These images remain as vivid evidence of John Kennedy’s imprint upon the American conscience.</p> 2019-02-19 16:00:00 -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. Annual educational programming support has been provided in part by Transamerica.</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-02-19 16:00:00 -0600
