Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place twice a month, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor's Journey August 26, 2017 - August 31, 2018

Hoffman studied with several artists in New York before traveling to Paris in 1910 where she successfully convinced Auguste Rodin to accept her as a student. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN;">During their lessons, he advised her "Do not be afraid of realism.”<sup> </sup></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> It was from Rodin that Hoffman learned a naturalistic, sometimes rugged approach to the form. From her early bust of her father Richard to her famous commission from the Field Museum to create their “Hall of Man,” <em>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</em> traces Hoffman’s artistic roots from her teenage creations through apprenticeship with Rodin and into her arrival as an independent and gifted artist.</span></p><p><br></p>

Jefferson Henshaw: Museum Store Featured Artist for July
<p>Our CRMA Museum Store Featured Artist for July is local Iowa artist Jefferson Henshaw. Stop in to see the village of his amazing houses. </p><p>Jefferson says:<em> Growing up in northern British Columbia in the middle of the woods and Rocky Mountains, nature was my first playmate. Now, in my search for form through these 'Bonsai Houses', nature is always a guide. Gravity, the properties of the clay, and instincts are what I rely on most. I strive for spontaneity. Do you agree that we find more authenticity and true expression in the act of doing than in planning, thinking, and analyzing? The way becomes clear as we go forward. </em></p><p><em> With my Village Series, I hope to bring joy into the world; to make you smile. I also want to point to a simpler way of life. A less distracted life that's willing to turn the cell phone off in favor of a sunset. </em></p><p>Admission to the Museum Store is free, and it's Free Summer at the CRMA from July 1st through September 2nd.</p><p><br></p> 2018-07-24 16:00:00 -0500
