What I Stand for Is What I Stand On: A Retreat on Wendell Berry at Prairiewoods
<p>The farmer-poet Wendell Berry (1934- ) is arguably one of today’s most important, prophetic and interesting writers and critics on matters of land, health, community and spirituality. This contemplative retreat with facilitator Eric Anglada at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be a celebration of Berry’s life and words, delving into his importance for our precarious age. Our time together will include talks, discussion, silence and contemplative time outdoors. The commuter fee for this one-day retreat is $150 and includes sessions and all Saturday meals. (You may choose to pay an additional $55 to stay overnight Saturday, including Sunday breakfast.)

“Degas in New Orleans,” by Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History, University of Iowa
<p>Edgar Degas is famed for his paintings of young ballet dancers and horse races, but a lesser known aspect of his work is the time he spent in New Orleans. Degas travelled to the city in 1872 to see the American side of his mother’s family, who worked as cotton and textile merchants. The painter saw this six-month stay as a return to his roots and produced eighteen paintings during his time there. Join Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History at the University of Iowa to discuss this unfamiliar aspect of Degas’ career.</p> 2019-12-30 14:00:00 -0600

Slow Art Day
<p>One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together to talk about their experience. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing. Participants are encouraged to take notes or make sketches (with pencil) of the artworks. At the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, we suggest visitors who wish to participate in Slow Art Day to look at the selected works between 10 am and noon and then to meet at noon in the Carnegie Library Wing of the CRMA. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch for this time. Associate Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Kate Kunau will facilitate the discussion. Free with paid museum admission.</p> 2019-12-30 13:00:00 -0600
