Unwrapped: Gifts from the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, 1988-2018
<p>Retired computer entrepreneur Peter Norton (Norton Antivirus Software) is a contemporary art collector as well as an active participant in various civic and philanthropic activities. In 1988, the Norton Family Christmas Project began commissioning artists to create original, multiple-edition works that were mailed as holiday greetings to friends, colleagues, and selected institutions. In 2017, the CRMA received the bulk of these wonderful holiday greetings from Director Emeritus Terry Pitts and his wife Kathy Hall.</p><p><br></p><p>The objects and artists’ books that comprise the Project collection are incredibly varied. A sense of whimsy runs through many of the pieces: salt and pepper shakers become snow globes, a music box exhorts us to be silent. Many works also have a sociopolitical focus, addressing issues as varied as slavery, AIDS, and gender identity. Taken together, the Norton Family Christmas Project objects and artists’ books provide a wonderful snapshot of the last thirty years of activity in the art world at large, presenting the work of both emerging and more established artists. The 2018 edition of the Norton Family Christmas Project was the last and ended the series.</p> 2019-08-26 16:00:00 -0500

JUST CHURCH
<p><strong>About JustChurch</strong></p><p>JustChurch is a weekly, Saturday evening, downtown worshiping community in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor. JustChurch is “just” in two ways:</p><ul><li><br><ul><li>Just a worshipping community</li><li>Participates in acts of JUSTice that flow from worship</li></ul></li></ul><p>JustChurch is intentionally focused on worship steeped in ancient Christian tradition expressed in new, simple ways, without building ownership, standing committees, etc. JustChurch is a refuge to those who seek to express faith for good in a community of inclusion and who feel left out of current institutional religion. Since JustChurch wants money to do the most good it can do, it strives to be an 80/20 worshipping community (dedicating 80% of its income for maximal impact on justice while using 20% to cover intentionally low operating costs).</p> 2019-10-19 18:00:00 -0500

Mindfulness for Families at Prairiewoods
<p>We continually look for creative ways to bring awareness, compassion, kindness, peace and tranquility into our homes. These monthly opportunities at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) are for parents and children from kindergarten through grade 12 to attend together. We will focus on simple, mindful practices to create peaceful awareness in the parent, child and home. Facilitators Kim Seward, BSN, RN, CMI (Certified Mindfulness Instructor), and Ann Jackson, PBVM, will guide us to explore and engage fun mindfulness activities to do together as a family. Practicing foundational aspects of mindful awareness—noticing senses, emotions and thoughts in fun and practical ways—will cultivate awareness, a greater understanding of emotions, kindness and compassion in all relationships, especially the parent-child relationship. As parents and children attend these sessions together, they will build a comprehensive mindfulness toolkit to use for future family enjoyment. Monthly themes include Foundation of Breath (Sunday, Sept. 15, 3–4:30 p.m.), Awareness and Presence (Monday, Oct. 21, 6–7:30 p.m.), Gratitude and Kindness (Sunday, Nov. 17, 3–4:30 p.m.) and Emotions (Monday, Dec. 16, 6–7:30 p.m.). Some activities will occur outside, so please dress accordingly. The cost is $20 per family for each session. Some financial assistance is available. Each session is limited to 30 total parents and children, and registration is required by the previous Monday. (Please include the total number and ages of participants at registration.) For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700</p> 2019-08-19 19:30:00 -0500
