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> 2019-08-17 18:00:00 -0500

Into the Blue: An All-Iowa Juried Exhibition
<p>A color-specific celebration of Iowa artists! Juried by CRMA Associate Curator Kate Kunau, <em>Into the Blue</em> draws work from artists all over the state of Iowa. The work on display must have been created within the last three years and blue must be the dominant color. <em>Into the Blue</em> celebrates the hue in both two and three-dimensional works across all media and examines how blue has been incredibly important to artists for centuries: From the luxurious (and expensive!) ultramarine used to color the Virgin Mary’s cloak and star-studded vaults of heaven in medieval and Renaissance art to the exuberance of Yves Klein’s trademarked shade and, blue has long inspired artists and this exhibition.</p> 2019-08-18 16:00:00 -0500

Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p><strong>Terra Nova: Ten Years</strong></p><p>The CRMA celebrates ten years of collaborating with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio. In 2009, the CRMA began meeting with artists who had completed residencies at the Ceramics Center and acquiring a piece of their work—often completed during their residency—for the Museum’s collection. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the artists to establish themselves in a museum collection and receive professional experience with curators while growing the CRMA’s collection of three-dimensional art. The exhibition will display artwork from every resident from 2009 to 2018 and both executive directors, a testament to the fruitfulness of this collaboration.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>April Woolsey, <em>Ascending Blocks</em>, 2003, terracotta, 13 ¼ x 6 1/3 inches, gift of the artist, 2010.037. </p><p><em>This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. Additional support has been provided by the Hotel-Motel Tax Fund, the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, members of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and contributors to the Museum’s Annual Fund. Annual educational programming support has been provided in part by Transamerica.</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-08-18 16:00:00 -0500
