Seeing IS Believing: Visio Divina at Prairiewoods
<p>Come together in a circle of trust to integrate imagination, learning and prayer through the practice of <em>Visio Divina,</em> or holy seeing, at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on Tuesday mornings. A contemplative practice of praying the Scriptures while viewing visual art, Visio Divina involves listening to the word of God, viewing art, pondering God’s message, letting our hearts speak and resting in God. Various works of art are used for the sessions, including pieces from <em>The Saint John's Bible,</em> professional artists and local artists. The sessions, facilitated by Lois Ocenosak, stand alone, so we invite you to attend whenever available. The cost is $5 per session.

Prayer Experience Series: Contemplative Experience at Prairiewoods
<p>Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) is pleased to announce a new ongoing series focused on a group prayer experience that is open to all. In October, facilitator Betty Daugherty, FSPA, will help us experience contemplation, which is both an ancient and new tradition in our search of the Holy One. In contemplation we stop our doing and learn to be; we enter into communion with the God beyond words and with our own deepest essence. We will experience the power of being in contemplation with others and sending peace and love into the brokenness of our world. Feel free to enjoy this as a series or as individual sessions. A free-will offering will be accepted, and registration is appreciated but not required. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-10-16 12:00:00 -0500

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> 2019-10-16 15:15:00 -0500

They make their way to Oakland, California where they have to adjust to their new lives.Markham’s storytelling captures rich and nuanced insight into the migrant experience. Of the book, The New York Times’ Jennifer Senior writes, “The Far Away Brothers is impeccably timed, intimately reported and beautifully expressed.

Up All Night: The Art of the Dark
<p>From Renaissance artists painting images of the Nativity to 18th century artists depicting new scientific discoveries to Post-Impressionist painters such as Van Gogh turning the night sky into a mesmeric swirl of brush strokes, the night has been inspiring artists for hundreds of years. The dark can symbolize many things in art: mystery, solitude, fear, superstition, secrets, or death. The striking juxtaposition of light against the night may represent hope, discovery, magic, the evidence of a divine presence, or other forms of literal “enlightenment.” Historically, night scenes were a chance for artists to show off their mastery of painting light effects. Moonlight, candles, and later, electric lights against the dark added drama to the scene. <em>Up All Night </em>celebrates the night scenes in the CRMA’s collection: Grant Wood’s evocative Quaker Oats, Marvin Cone’s charming Christmas cards, M.C. Escher’s tesselated <em>Day into Night</em>, amongst others. Enjoy the look at one of art history’s oldest ways of infusing drama into art.</p><p><br></p> 2019-10-16 16:00:00 -0500

Haunted: Marvin Cone’s Ghosts
<p>In the academic year of 1938-1939, Marvin Cone took a leave of absence from teaching at Coe College and secured a studio in the Granby Building in downtown Cedar Rapids. Funded by local businessmen, Cone received an uninterrupted “year of freedom,” as he termed it, to devote to his painting. In this newfound freedom, Cone departed from his beloved depiction of barns and the Iowa landscape and turned inward, literally. He began to focus on eerie, atmospheric building interiors, painted almost in monotone. Some of these interiors began to include images of ghosts, their bodies transparent but distinct against the background. Although common enough in children’s book illustration, Cone’s ghosts are highly unusual in “fine” art. Of these paintings, Cone said that he wanted to establish, “a lonesome and apprehensive atmosphere.” In addition to ghosts, Cone also experimented with adding gloomy portraits of “Uncle Ben” to the austere walls of his interior, or simply ominous titles that alluded to the room having just been vacated by an unknown presence.</p><p><br></p><p>After initially broaching the subject in the late 1930s, Cone returned to it several times, which was unusual for him. These interior spaces and their otherworldly inhabitants called him back through the 1950s and into the mid-1960s, near the end of his life. <em>Haunted: Marvin Cone’s Ghosts</em> is a celebration of this intriguing theme and its unusual and enigmatic presence in Cone’s artwork.</p> 2019-10-16 16:00:00 -0500

John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-10-16 16:00:00 -050010/16/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -
