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

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> 2019-02-19 18:00:00 -06002/19/194:00 p.m.Coe College Sinclair AuditoriumCedar Rapids -

Flight Pattern: Birds in Art
<p>In flight or at rest, birds have long fascinated artists. Often used as symbolic objects for particular virtues, families, or countries, birds in art can carry meaning far beyond their forms.

Power and Protest: Political Photography and Prints
<p>American politics have been contentious for as long as America has existed. Drawn from the CRMA’s own collection of photographs and prints, Power and Protest celebrates the glossy official images of political power, the behind-the-scenes work to keep people there, and the demonstrations, marches, and rallies that spoke to that power. Power and Protest was designed as a complement to the John F. Kennedy exhibition and both emphasize the role art has had in shaping the political views of our nation.</p><p>This exhibition has been made possible by the McIntyre Foundation and the Diamond V Corporate Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. </p><p>Image caption:</p><p>LeRoy Neiman, <em>Abraham Lincoln</em>, 1968, serigraph, 17 ¾ x 18 inches, gift of Wendy and Greg Dunn, 94.26.2.</p><p> </p> 2019-02-21 20:00:00 -0600

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> 2019-02-27 16:00:00 -0600

Flight Pattern: Birds in Art

From John Buck’s vibrant woodcut of the extinct dodo bird to Laurie Hogin’s fantastically feathered creations, Flight Pattern celebrates the great variety of avian art in the CRMA collection.</p><p>Image Caption:<br>Phoenix Rising by John Buck<br>John Buck, Phoenix Rising, 2006-2007, woodblock print, 50 x 37 inches, museum purchase made possible by the Collectors' Circle, 2009.078.<br><br><br></p> 2019-02-27 16:00:00 -0600

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> 2019-02-27 18:00:00 -06002/27/194:00 p.m.Coe College Sinclair AuditoriumCedar Rapids
