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> 2019-08-31 18:00:00 -0500

Rock Mandala Painting for the Whole Family at Prairiewoods
<p>Spend an evening creating art with your favorite people! We invite you to bring your family and friends to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a fun, creative project everyone can enjoy!

Using smooth stones, paints and fine dotting tools, we will make beautiful, detailed mandalas! Facilitator Andi Lewis will guide us in this fun, relaxing process that can be done by anyone, regardless of age. We will have time to paint several rocks and will be encouraged to take one rock home and leave one as a secret gift for a stranger to find! No experience or artistic skill is necessary, but kids 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. (It is ideal for ages 10 and older.) The cost is $13 per person and includes rocks and all art supplies. Registration and payment are required at least two days in advance.

Jo Koy - Just Kidding World Tour
<p>Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings performing at a Las Vegas coffee house. As one of today’s premiere stand-up comedians, Koy sells-out theaters and arenas across the world with his infectious and explosive energy onstage. The comedian pulls inspiration from his family, specifically his son, with material that has universal appeal.</p><p>In November 2017, the comedian broke a record for the most tickets sold by a single artist at The Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu with 11 sold-out shows and over 23,000 tickets sold. Celebrating this accomplishment, the mayor’s office in Honolulu proclaimed November 24th as “Jo Koy Day.” Koy is also the only comedian to sell out 6 shows at The Warfield in San Francisco, he broke the attendance record at Club Regent Event Centre in Winnipeg with 4 sold-out shows, and is one of the few acts to sell-out 2 shows at The Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, FL. In July 2018, Koy was given the prestigious “Stand-Up Comedian Of The Year” award at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.</p><p>Today, the comedian tours around the world and is currently wrapping up his <em>Break The Mold World Tour</em> just in time for his highly anticipated Netflix special, <em>Comin’ In Hot</em> to release June 2019. Koy will launch his <em>Just Kidding World Tour </em>in August 2019 with all new material not on the previous tour or upcoming special.</p><p>Koy released his first stand-up comedy album, <em>Live From Seattle</em> and reached #1 on the Billboard Charts. He can also be heard on his weekly podcast, <em>The Koy Pond with Jo Koy</em> by Starburns Audio. Listeners can dive in each week as Koy welcomes friends and fellow comedians to share their hilarious insights on life. For more info on the podcast, album and tour dates, please visit: Jokoy.com.</p><p>TruTV has also greenlit the animated comedy pilot, <em>This Functional Family</em> starring Koy. The half-hour animated project puts Koy at the center of a fractured, patched-up, multi-racial, dysfunctional family. It draws upon Koy’s real-life experiences and characters featured in his stand-up.</p><p>Later this year, fans can also catch Koy on the silver screen co-starring alongside Brandon Routh and Donna Murphy as “Vladimir Lenin” in the upcoming live-action film,<em> Anastasia</em>.</p><p>Koy has appeared on over 140 episodes of <em>Chelsea Lately</em> as a season regular roundtable guest. Other appearances include: <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Beat Bobby Flay, Spike TV’s Adam Carolla & Friends Build Stuff Live and Jimmy Kimmel Live</em>.</p> 2019-04-19 22:00:00 -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> 2019-08-25 16:00:00 -0500
