An Evening with Dr. Rosier and Dr. Lang of the Rodale Institute’s Midwest Organic Center
<p dir="ltr">Approximately 26 million acres of land in Iowa is dedicated to conventional agriculture compared to 81,000 acres (0.3%) acres that are certified as USDA organic. Conventional agriculture typically relies heavily on inputs of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, potentially reducing soil biodiversity and negatively affecting ecosystem services including carbon fixation, nutrient cycling and water quality. However, regenerative organic farming is thought to contribute to a more diverse and stable soil food web, increasing soil carbon and nutrient storage, while mitigating many environmental issues and combating climate change. The mission of the Rodale Institute Midwest Organic Center (RI MOC) at Etzel Sugar Grove Farm near Marion is twofold: i) conduct fundamental and applied research of farm management decisions which improve soil organic matter accumulation, nutrient retention, and biodiversity, and ii) develop an outreach program that provides farmers with the information and technical support to improve soil health and farm profitability. Drs. Carl Rosier and Kristine Lang will present a brief history of Rodale Institute, highlight the formation of the RI MOC, discuss planned research projects for 2020, and provide an overview of ongoing outreach. This presentation will highlight ways that both members and volunteers at Indian Creek Nature Center can be involved in research and outreach projects at the RI MOC.</p> 2020-03-30 19:30:00 -05006/17/206:00 p.m.Indian Creek Nature CenterCedar Rapids -
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> 2020-06-03 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> 2020-06-16 16:00:00 -0500
