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> 2020-09-25 16:00:00 -0500

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> 2020-10-04 16:00:00 -0500

<p>Celebrate the patron saint of ecology, St. Francis of Assisi, on his feast day with Prairiewoods’ popular annual Blessing of the Animals! Join us online via Zoom for a celebration of our connection with animals, trees and all of Creation. Kids and animal companions (whether furry, winged, scaled or finned) are invited to join us for this free afternoon. At this year’s celebration, we’ll also launch <em>Outstretched Boughs, </em>a book of poetry and reflections on Prairiewoods’ trees. It was started as a labor of love by Prairiewoods friend Kathy Decker and foundress Betty Daugherty, FSPA. It has been completed in loving memory of both women. This 40-page, self-published gem features poems and photographs of the trees at Prairiewoods. It can be purchased now for $10 (plus $2 shipping, if applicable) by calling 319-395-6700. This afternoon will include poetry readings to honor trees that fell in the storm and celebrate those that are still standing. Please be ready with your screen of choice, your pets and your sense of wonder at the beauty of trees and all creation! To join the celebration, use the Zoom meeting link (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89742720267?pwd=OUN3SnB4Y2RBOTBzYVFndFd2dG9Vdz09). If prompted, enter meeting ID 897 4272 0267 and password 731481.
