Dick Pinney: Jack of All Trades

Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene.  Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders.  Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire.  This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork. 2022-01-22 16:00:00 -0600

Abstract Ideas: Abstract Art from the Collection

Culled from CRMA’s collection of works created after 1950, Abstract Ideas explores the potential of abstraction in the hands of post-World War II artists. In some cases, the subject matter has been only slightly abstracted, diverging only a little from the way they appear in nature. In other cases, artists have moved completely away from any recognizable object in pursuit of more emotional or intellectual goals. In all cases, however, artists maintained their relationship to and dialogue with the fundamental properties of art such as balance, form, line, color, and rhythm. Investigating the various degrees of abstraction found in modern paintings and sculpture, this exhibition presents a diverse group of works, each of which operates on different emotional and intellectual levels. 2022-01-23 16:00:00 -0600

Abstract Ideas: Abstract Art from the Collection

Culled from CRMA’s collection of works created after 1950, Abstract Ideas explores the potential of abstraction in the hands of post-World War II artists. In some cases, the subject matter has been only slightly abstracted, diverging only a little from the way they appear in nature. In other cases, artists have moved completely away from any recognizable object in pursuit of more emotional or intellectual goals. In all cases, however, artists maintained their relationship to and dialogue with the fundamental properties of art such as balance, form, line, color, and rhythm. Investigating the various degrees of abstraction found in modern paintings and sculpture, this exhibition presents a diverse group of works, each of which operates on different emotional and intellectual levels. 2022-01-26 16:00:00 -0600

Dick Pinney: Jack of All Trades

Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene.  Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders.  Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire.  This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork. 2022-01-26 16:00:00 -0600

About The Overnight Guest A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf She thought she was alone… True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace. As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls–haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. Bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them. 2022-01-14 19:00:00 -0600
