Fair Trade Rug Event
<p>The Fair Trade Rug Event is a partnership between Ten Thousand Villages and Bunyaad, a fair trade, Pakistani job creation program that gives both men and women equal access to a fair living wage.</p><p>Approximately 300 hand knotted, heirloom quality rugs will be available to see and purchase in a variety of unique designs and sizes ranging from 2’ x 3’ to 10’ x 14’ rugs as well as runners and Kilim pillows.</p><p>This year’s Rug Event is particularly important to Pakistani artisans. Pakistan is currently inundated with flooding covering a third of the country. Communication is disrupted and U.S. partners are trying to get pertinent information on the well-being of more than 850 families in over 100 villages who make the hand-knotted rugs available at the Rug Event.</p><p>“When you purchase a rug through Ten Thousand Villages, you not only invest in a beautiful piece of functional art, but you are also supporting lives, culture, and education in Pakistan. This year’s rug sales provides Pakistani artisans much needed economic stability and income to rebuild homes and villages devastated by flooding,” says Liz Preciado Genell, Executive Director of Ten Thousand Villages Iowa City.</p><p>An Introduction video to Bunyaad Rugs on their website explains how these rugs are made and what makes a quality oriental rug. It explains how knotting rugs is changing the lives of women and their families in Pakistan.</p><p>Bunyaad provides a foundation for women by paying them a living wage to knot heirloom quality rugs on looms set in their homes. Women can work on the looms around their other household chores, like caring for children, preparing meals, and tending their home. Work on the looms gives women year-round stable employment that they have control over. With this income, women have found increased financial independence and can financially contribute to the success of their family. They are able to send their children to school and plan for the future. Having a wage-earning skill gives Pakistani women a sense of pride as well as an avenue to true social change for themselves and their family.</p><p>Rugs will be displayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Iowa River Landing, 300 E. 9th St, Coralville. See the rich colors, unique designs, and learn more about the rugs from Yousaf Chaman, director of Bunyaad.</p><p>Safety measures will be in place and visitors are asked to wear a mask and social distance. Interviews can be scheduled with Yousaf and photos of the rugs can be viewed in advance at the Bunyaad Rug website.</p> 2022-09-27 19:00:00 -0500

Abstract Ideas: Abstract Art from the Collection
<p>Culled from CRMA’s collection of works created after 1950, Abstract Ideas explores the potential of abstraction in the hands of post-World War II artists. In some cases, the subject matter has been only slightly abstracted, diverging only a little from the way they appear in nature. In other cases, artists have moved completely away from any recognizable object in pursuit of more emotional or intellectual goals. In all cases, however, artists maintained their relationship to and dialogue with the fundamental properties of art such as balance, form, line, color, and rhythm. Investigating the various degrees of abstraction found in modern paintings and sculpture, this exhibition presents a diverse group of works, each of which operates on different emotional and intellectual levels.</p> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500

Art Exhibit: "Connections" by Laura Young
<p><u>"Connections": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>“As a painter, I am particularly interested in the metaphorical aspects of light and how the amount of light in a picture affects our mood and reaction. I live in a small contemporary house in the woods in Iowa City. A studio is a few yards from my house where I work. I see the early morning light filtering through the trees each day, the light sparkling off the water of a small creek as well as the twilight time when the owls come out to hunt for their prey. I often think of the work of the 19th century American landscape painter, George Inness, who lived and worked in Montclair, NJ where I lived for many years when my children were growing up. His dark fields and forests with a minimal, yet powerful light leaking through the trees and brush somewhere in the middle ground creates a yearning for something beyond the horizon, something intangible. The light pulls one forward.”</p><p>Laura Young is a painter, currently living in Iowa City, Iowa where she is a Lecturer in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa. She has won numerous fellowships and awards such as a Pollock Krasner Foundation Fellowship (1994), two Iowa Arts Council Grants (1997 and 2001), The Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency (2006), among others. Laura Young has shown across the United States in museums, commercial galleries, juried and group shows, as well as internationally in Denmark and Nigeria. <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections">www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections</a></p><p><br></p><p>Concurrently showing in Main Floor Gallery: <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth">www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth </a></p>

Art Exhibit: "Rare Earth" by John Preston and Ellen Wagener
<p><u>"Rare Earth": Main Floor Exhibition</u></p><p>This exhibition showcases the idea of a Rare Earth, moments on our planet captured through the lens of two unique artistic voices, depicting the phenomenal beauty of the land with its companions and features— acknowledging it’s scarcity and eventual potential to be non-existent. Midwestern tableaux are discovered through farm, field and water and highlight the beauty in the ‘everyday’ or the moments we’ve possibly overlooked.</p><p>John Preston lives in Fairfield, Iowa, but grew up on the east coast. He has been painting the Midwestern landscape since 1984. Preston's paintings primarily depict the dramatic climate of the Midwest, as well as its expansive skies and rolling fields. They often represent particular locations against a backdrop of weather events from observation, memory and where necessary, imagination. “The move to watercolor reflects a desire to transition from 'finished' paintings to more of a 'complete sketch'”. Preston has exhibited nationally and is in many public and private collections, including Iowa State University, John Deere and the Chicago Federal Reserve.</p><p>Ellen Wagener was born in Maquoketa and grew up in DeWitt, Iowa. Known for her stormy clouds, burning fields, dust storms, and tornadoes moving across prairies and fields, Wagener took a new approach after her move to Arizona in 2001. Her work takes the quintessential Midwestern landscape in series and at large scale, and uses sketches, photographs and her memory to create vivid evocations in pastel of particular weather patterns and times of day. Her work has been shown nationwide and is in the collections of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Iowa State University, the University of Iowa Museum of Art, the Tucson Museum of Art and the Figge Art Museum. <a href="https://www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth">www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth</a></p><p><br></p><p>Concurrently showing: "Connections" by Laura Young: <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections">www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections</a></p>

The Collector's Eye: The Collection of Thomas C. Jackson and Joanne Stevens
<p>The Collector's Eye: The Collection of Thomas C. Jackson and Joanne Stevens<br><br>October 1, 2022-January 15, 2023<br>Price 0-$10<br><br>Local collectors Tom Jackson and Joanne Stevens have been slowly amassing a remarkable collection of prints by significant modern and contemporary artists, including John Baldessari, Enrique Chagoya, Sam Francis, Claes Oldenburg, Wayne Thiebaud, and Kara Walker. In total, the collection represents some of the more significant American artists of the past 70 years. At the same time, it also looks at a number of political issues that these artists explored. The collection, rather unique in Cedar Rapids, is all the more poignant because it was built together by this husband-and-wife team, one of which is a fulltime practicing artist himself.</p> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500

dreamscape: Surrealism from the Collection
<p>dreamscape: Surrealism from the Collection<br><br>September 10, 2022-December 31, 2022</p><p>Price range 0 to 10.00<br><br>This exhibition takes a look at both classic Surrealism (Dali, deChirico, Escher) of the 1930s and 1940s and more modern and contemporary artists who adhere to surrealistic principles (Cocke, Lanyon). While there have been several Surrealism exhibitions over the years, little attention has been given to artists working since the 1940s whose work continues to demonstrate Surrealism’s influence. This exhibition, drawn from the CRMA’s collection, will start the conversation on this phenomenon in a new and engaging way.</p> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500

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> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500

<p>Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene. Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders. Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire. This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork.</p> 2022-10-07 16:00:00 -0500
