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> 2020-01-26 16:00:00 -0600

Leaving A Legacy: Estate Planning Seminar at Grand Living at Indian Creek
<p>Join us at Grand Living at Indian Creek for an informative presentation by Jeff Kaiden, CFP, LUTCF, and JD Klopfenstein of Principal Financial. <br><br>You might think estate planning is only for wealthy people or that it can wait until you’re older. But everyone has something to protect — family, home, investments and retirement accounts, personal property, and perhaps a business. As your estate grows, your biggest concerns might be protecting your family in the event of your death or disability and building financial security. Later, you might be more focused on preserving what you have and distributing it the way you want. Estate planning helps ensure your objectives are met during each phase. Your legacy is important. Creating your estate plan today can give you the confidence and control to know that it will be passed on to your loved ones the way you intend.<br><br>RSVP: 310.930.3250 or INDIANCREEK@GRANDLIVING.COM. </p> 2020-01-13 14:30:00 -0600

Grand Patriots | “Harvey Dunn & the Art of Combat”
<p>In early 1918, eight artists—one of whom was South Dakota’s own Harvey Dunn—were selected as the U.S. government’s first official combat artists. These eight men were tasked with depicting scenes from the front lines in France. Their images were to serve as historical records and as propaganda, but the story of what happened to their artwork proves more complex, ultimately revealing how the government believed that art could be a powerful weapon during the Great War.</p><p>South Dakota native Ranelle Knight-Lueth, an Assistant Professor of Art History and the Director of Galleries and Collections at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will present Harvey Dunn and the World War I Combat Artists. </p> 2020-01-22 17:00:00 -06001/27/204:00 p.m.Grand Living at Indian CreekCedar Rapids -

Join facilitator Angie Pierce Jennings at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for this monthly time of contemplation, journaling and sharing. We are invited to bring a journal or mixed media tablet, colored pencils or water color paints, and some art supplies will be available. Artists of all experience levels, including beginners, are welcome. Feel free to enjoy this as a series or as individual sessions. The cost is $10 per session, and registration is requested by the previous day.
