Brucemore Mansion Tours
<p>A visit to Brucemore explores more than 130 years of Eastern Iowa history through the lives of the three families who called Brucemore home—the Sinclairs, the Douglases, and the Halls. They were business and community leaders during a century of evolution in the Midwest. The changes they made to their estate, the impact they had on their community, and the stories they left behind shape our understanding of modern Cedar Rapids, eastern Iowa, and the American Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Mansion tours are offered March through December, Wednesday through Sunday. Inquire for times within the general visiting hours. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in the visitor center. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as tours sell-out, especially during periods of high demand. Admission fees vary by tour selection, season, and ticket type. </p> 2019-04-27 15:15:00 -0500

April Museum Store Artist of the Month-Kimberly Machovec-Smith
<p>Kimberly Machovec-Smith, an Iowa native, was trained as an art conservator. She recently returned to oil painting. Her current work illustrates the private moment of transformation a single seed experiences as it begins its journey toward reproduction. Warmed by the earth, the seed begins to swell, stretching and ripping open to release the lengthening root in its effort to find nourishment.</p> 2019-04-27 16:00:00 -05004/27/1910:00 a.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

Art Exhibit: True Maps
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>True Maps</em>, a solo exhibit of new works by Thérèse Murdza.</p><p>A writer turned visual artist, Thérèse Murdza began drawing big words on giant rolls of paper in 1998. Using an animated range of circles, lines, and colors, she continued her work onto stretched canvas, eventually building her signature bright, richly textured paintings. Her previous training remains an influence: “In college, I studied theater performance, learning new forms of materializing sounds in transitory space. I acted, directed, and wrote poetry and plays. After graduation I distilled my writing further, in search of the precise moments of emotion and of contact. Not narrating the beginnings and ends, but middles; the being in the middle of things. Years spent living up and down the east coast had me literally taking the words apart. Disintegrating the shapes of the words into lines, circles, squares and color. Seeing music, hearing words, somehow marking sound in charcoal, ink, pencil, and then: paint.”</p><p>Thérèse has a BS in Theatre Arts from Towson University, MD. She studied Life Drawing at the Durham Arts Council School; Botanical Drawing at the ArtSchool at The ArtsCenter, NC; and Mural Painting with Larry Kangas in Portland, OR. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon and has exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Her work can be found in many residential, commercial, and museum collections, including: Kaiser Permanente Beaverton Medical Office. Portland, OR; Bluebird Real Estate. Portland, OR; Oregon Reproductive Medicine Clinic. Portland, OR; United Fire Group. Los Angeles, CA; Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. Cedar Rapids, IA; Raven Industries. Sioux Falls, SD; Raining Rose, Inc. Cedar Rapids, IA; United Fire Group. Cedar Rapids, IA; TD Ameritrade Headquarters. Omaha, NE; Creative Entertainment Management.

Power and Protest: Political Photography and Prints
<p>American politics have been contentious for as long as America has existed. Drawn from the CRMA’s own collection of photographs and prints, Power and Protest celebrates the glossy official images of political power, the behind-the-scenes work to keep people there, and the demonstrations, marches, and rallies that spoke to that power. Power and Protest was designed as a complement to the John F. Kennedy exhibition and both emphasize the role art has had in shaping the political views of our nation.</p><p>This exhibition has been made possible by the McIntyre Foundation and the Diamond V Corporate Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. </p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret<em>, Martin Luther King Jr., Coe College</em>, 1962, gelatin silver print, 14 x 9 inches, promised gift of the artist, L2004.065.1.</p> 2019-04-27 16:00:00 -0500

American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times
<p>American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times brings together seventy-seven images culled from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Getty Images, private collections, and the Kennedy family archives. The dramatic scope of Kennedy’s life is evident in these photographs—from his first congressional bid as a decorated war hero in 1946, his fairytale marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, his run for the White House in 1960 and role as commander in chief, to the tragedy of his death in Dallas in 1963. These images remain as vivid evidence of John Kennedy’s imprint upon the American conscience.</p> 2019-04-27 16:00:00 -0500

Terra Nova: Ten Years
<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>Will Rimel, <em>Geometry</em> <em>(Blue),</em> 2012, earthenware, 4 x 6 x 2 inches, gift of the artist, 2014.027.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p><br></p> 2019-04-27 16:00:00 -0500

Prompts and Personas: Modes of Poetic Discovery
<p>Free poetry course taught by Anne Myles. Knowledge of the craft of poetry is one matter; finding good subjects to write about is another; writing in ways where we surprise ourselves and come up with poems we never would have known we could write is yet a third. In this workshop participants will experiment with a number of techniques for getting outside ourselves, our familiar subjects and voice, including timed writing with prompts, writing in the voice of an unfamiliar persona, and other exercises. There will be time for sharing selected pieces at the end and participants should go home with several different starts of new work.</p> 2019-04-02 16:00:00 -0500

Grand Concourse by Heidi Schreck
<p>“Grand Concourse may well break your heart. You may need tissues by the end.” - New York Post. Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her heart is not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma, an idealistic but confused college dropout, arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point. With keen humor and startling compassion, Heidi Schreck’s play navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the pursuit of something resembling joy.</p><p> </p><p>Presented by the University of Dubuque Department of Fine and Performing Arts.<br><br><span>Adults: $10 | Non-UD Students: $5 | UD Faculty/Staff/Students: FREE</span></p>4/27/197:30 p.m.Babka Theatre - University of Dubuque Heritage CenterDubuque -

I don’t need to buy a ticket. I simply need to be an artist.” Danika’s belief is that a well written song can embody all emotions of the human existence, and she articulates that beautifully with her slightly raspy yet warm voice and truthful lyrics.</p><p>Grand-nephew to the great country guitarist Clyde Moody, Jeb Hart can craft a story with six strings. Despite a car accident that left him unable to play for several years, Jeb’s determination to overcome prevailed. After listening to Jeb perform, the two most common responses from fans are “The best guitar player I’ve ever heard” and “It sounds like there’s two of him.”</p><p>Danika and Jeb are taking stages of all sizes by storm - having opened for mainstream heavyweights such as Lyle Lovett, Dierks Bentley, Phil Vassar, Tracy Lawrence, and others, to being named 2016 Artists of the Year from Concerts in your Home, their soulful and intoxicating sound lures in new fans daily.</p><p> </p></section></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-02-28 23:00:00 -0600
