On street parking is available on 3rd Avenue and 8th Street- non-metered. The MedQuarter features protected bike lanes and bicycle “parking” can be found on the opposite side of the building by the Pocket Park on 3rd and 8th.</p><p>About the Exhibitions:</p><p><u>"Welcome: New Gallery Artists": Main Floor Exhibition</u></p><p>This exhibition welcomes new gallery artists to the roster at Gilded Pear Gallery! The show is not based on a theme but the best representation of an artist’s body of work and style. Artworks on display include paintings, printmaking, collage, pastel, and ceramics. The Gallery focuses on the talents of artists working in the Midwest and, of the seven, five are eastern Iowans. The exhibiting artists selected bring fresh subject matter to the gallery, such as: larger-than-life-size florals, detailed symbolic imagery, clever color and pattern relationships, and delicious still-life moments. Join the gallery in welcoming: Wendy Eggerman, Nichole Gronvold Roller, Emily Jalinsky, Julia Kulish, Buffy Quegg, Justin Vasey, and Amanda Wilharm.</p><p>www.gildedpeargallery.com/welcome-new-gallery-artists</p><p><br></p><p><u>"By Design": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>A first of its kind! The gallery has invited area interior designers who have partnered with the Gallery previously to participate in a fun take on an art exhibition. Participants selected artwork/s from Gilded Pear artists and have created design boards with the inspired artwork in mind. Have you ever felt drawn to an artwork, but didn’t feel like it would “fit” the room you had space for? This exhibition highlights the need for good design and the importance of original artworks in fulfilling interior spaces. Samples of wall coverings, tile, drapery, furniture textures and more can be found on display with included artworks. Four local design studios are featured: Janna McCalley Interiors, Aaron Murphy Interiors, Melanie Olson Design Group, and Lori Wiles Design for a total of 8 different designs. The exhibition will be posted online, but a visit to the gallery will be the most desired experience!</p><p>www.gildedpeargallery.com/by-design</p> 2023-05-26 19:30:00 -0500

Lorrie Morgan Live at the First Avenue Club in Iowa City
<p>The Club welcomes Lorrie Morgan with special guest (to be announced) on Friday, June 16th. TABLE OPTIONS: Reserved Tables for 2,4, 6 or 8 with tickets available. General Admission Ticket with Seat at a Table (seated with other patrons) $30. Doors are 7:00. The show starts at 8:00. This is an all ages show.</p><p>Tickets: https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/lorrie-morgan/337?cs=true&cst=custom</p><p>BIO:</p><p>She is undeniably one of the most eloquently emotive vocalists of modern times.</p><p>Lorrie Morgan, the first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums, is back in the studio with award-winning producer Richard Landis, working on a new album. It is sure to be yet another collection showcasing the rainbow of emotions, from darkest heartache to bright, shiny humor, that is the hallmark of Morgan’s range.</p><p>“Where I am in my life right now, I’m not afraid to express what I feel,” she says. “I’m not afraid to express my views on anything, especially on being a woman and my experiences in this business and in life.”</p><p>She has been a daughter, a bride, a mother, a divorcee, a widow, a single mother, a breadwinner and, ultimately, a survivor. In many ways, Lorrie is a living, breathing country song, and she knows what she sings.</p><p>“I didn’t want to just do another album. I want it to be something that really moves me. When I listened to songs for it, I’d think, ‘No, not that one. I’m not going to be able to sing that one, because I’m not going to be able to feel it.’ It is very important to me for this album to reflect the things that I am feeling today.”</p><p>Morgan is known for her lustrous vocal phrasing and the down-to-earth believability of her torchy performances. On records such as “A Picture of Me Without You” and “I Guess You Had to Be There,” the ache is palpable. She is feisty and sassy on “Watch Me,” “What Part of No” “Five Minutes” and “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” She has kicked up her stiletto heels in fun on her hits “Except for Monday” and “Go Away.” On her epic “Something in Red” she is an honest, struggling everywoman.</p><p>In addition to the project with Landis, Lorrie is excited to be co-writing a second project in collaboration with Larry Gatlin.</p><p>Recently in Nashville, Morgan commanded a stage shared by the iconic Judy Collins, in a concert performance honoring the 30th anniversary of LA-based record label, Cleopatra Records. She continues to match any of her earlier efforts, with an emotional range and a stage presence that is as vibrant as ever.</p><p>She is a peerless song interpreter, drawing from a deep personal well that spans enormous tenderness to cheeky hutzpah. Whether covering a classic or sharing one of her own songs, Morgan is truly a song stylist in the grandest tradition.</p><p>“I have always been a songwriter and I do love to write,” she comments. “But I’m only comfortable co-writing with a few people, and I don’t like appointment writing at all. Plus, I’m not one of those people who says, ‘If I didn’t write it, I’m not going to record it.’ If somebody else’s song is better, I’m going to record it and not my own.”</p><p>Lorrie Morgan has been around great songs all her life. She is a Nashville native who is the daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member George Morgan. She made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage at age 13, singing “Paper Roses.” Her father died suddenly of a heart attack at age 51. She was l6 at the time and just beginning her musical career. Lorrie Morgan began making her own records shortly thereafter and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at just 24 years old.</p><p>Morgan married fellow country singer Keith Whitley in 1986. She was signed to RCA Records in 1987, and her onslaught of hits began the following year. Whitley’s tragic death of an alcohol overdose in 1989 left her a widowed working mother. Their duet “Til a Tear Becomes a Rose” earned her a 1990 CMA award.</p><p>Her first three albums, Leave the Light On (1989), Something in Red (1991) and Watch Me (1992), all earned Platinum Record awards. Her Greatest Hits collection (1999) is also Platinum. War Paint (1994), Greater Need (1996) and Shakin’ Things Up (1997) are all Gold Record winners.</p><p>She sang “The Sad Cafe” on Common Threads: Songs of the Eagles, which was named the CMA Album of the Year in 1994. Country fans voted Lorrie Morgan their TNN/Music City News Female Vocalist of the Year in 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998.</p> 2023-02-09 23:59:00 -0600
