Museum Store Artist Of the Month: Sara Benesh
<p>I love journals as a medium since I know the artistic process doesn’t end with me. Every aspect of each journal is carefully thought out-from the repurposed leather that allows me to choose the exact design of the exterior to the splash of color that make the end pages- meant to delight and surprise the eye when opening each one. Each piece is an invitation to its new owner to explore and create. Every journal is hand sewn with love and intended for use with your daily adventures; great or small, neat or far, or wherever they may take you. </p> 2019-08-25 16:00:00 -0500

Doodlebugs at the Hiawatha Public Library / Blueprint for Blue Prints
<p>This summer, the CRMA’s exhibition of local artists focuses on the color blue, so Doodlebugs celebrates all things blue, too. Learn about the tints and shades of this hue, experiment with blue media, and check out famous artists who also emphasized blue in their work! Nothing chases away the blues like art!</p><p><strong>Cyanotype is a form of printmaking that uses the sun. The finished piece turns blue, which is where the term “blueprint</strong><strong>” </strong><strong>comes from. We will be trying it for</strong><strong> </strong><strong>ourselves!</strong></p><p><strong><u> </u></strong></p> 2019-07-19 11:30:00 -0500

John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-08-31 16:00:00 -05008/31/1910:00 a.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -
Art Exhibit: A Line Goes For A Walk
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>a line goes for a walk</em>, a solo exhibit of works by Priscilla Steele.</p><p><br></p><p>A playful observation was made by the twentieth century artist, Paul Klee: <em>A drawing is simply a line going for a walk</em>. This wisdom resonated with Priscilla in the development of her works and marries her various subject matter in drawing, collage and etchings. “Over a more than forty year career, the variability of line has been central to my exploration,” says Steele about this exhibit. “It was an unwitting, intuitive choice that led me to focus on the figure and botanic subjects. Pivoting between their contrasting qualities, I refresh my perceptions. In this way, extravagant, blossoming petals exist in a calculated tension side-by-side with emotionally charged images of the figure.” The show features works from very large-scale, highly detailed renderings, to very small, simple line drawings of budding flowers. The deliberate pentimenti in her etchings allude similar textures to the ripped collage elements composed in the mixed media drawings. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Priscilla was raised in New Jersey, just outside of New York City. She studied at a small liberal arts college, Saint Lawrence University in northern New York, and four years later spent a productive academic year in Europe where she developed a strong interest in drawing and printmaking. Priscilla moved to the area to complete her graduate work in printmaking at the University of Iowa and stayed to teach at Coe College and eventually open Campbell Steele Gallery. She has since retired and closed the gallery in Marion and continues her journey as a working artist in Omaha, NE. She has a strong regional exhibition history and co-founded the Marion Arts Festival in addition to serving on several art boards and committees in the Cedar Rapids area.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
