Brucemore Mansion Tours
<p>A visit to Brucemore explores more than 130 years of Eastern Iowa history through the lives of the three families who called Brucemore home—the Sinclairs, the Douglases, and the Halls. They were business and community leaders during a century of evolution in the Midwest. The changes they made to their estate, the impact they had on their community, and the stories they left behind shape our understanding of modern Cedar Rapids, eastern Iowa, and the American Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Mansion tours are offered March through December, Wednesday through Sunday. Inquire for times within the general visiting hours. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in the visitor center. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as tours sell-out, especially during periods of high demand. Admission fees vary by tour selection, season, and ticket type. </p> 2019-07-19 15:15:00 -0500

Art Exhibit: Cedar River Artisans
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present the Cedar River Artisans, a collective of Iowa artists interested in discussion between diverse subject matter and medium. Participating artists include: Dean Dunkel, Robert Fox, Nancy Lindsay, Marty Mitchell, Tom Newport, Elizabeth Rhoads Read and Lou Wendel.</p><p><br></p><p>The artists within the collective work independently to each develop their visual style; paintings, ceramics, sculptures, fiber works, and photography are featured in this exhibit. Variance between the works gives the viewer a space to explore and fuels energy in situ. Cedar River Artisans initially started as a group of artists who met weekly over lunch to talk about art and give one another support and advice. Over time, their gatherings evolved to a point where they decided to show together. The coterie has exhibited together across Iowa and beyond since 2011, and, as independent artists, received several awards and merits. Many of the participants’ artworks can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

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> 2019-07-19 16:00:00 -0500
