125!: 125 Masterworks from the Collection
<p>Continuing the celebration of the 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the CRMA, the summer exhibition will look at 125 masterpieces drawn from our own collection. Whereas <em>Across the Atlantic</em> looked at another prestigious American museum collection, we have much to celebrate within our own collection. Works which normally do not hang together because of their diverse subjects or styles will coexist in an exuberant display of the CRMA’s treasures. Works by Grant Wood and Marvin Cone will be joined by those of important early African-American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner, American Impressionist Frederick Carl Frieseke, and American sculptor Malvina Hoffman. Roman treasures will be on view alongside modern and contemporary masterworks. It will be a true celebration of the depth and breadth of the collection, as well as a celebration of the community which made this collection possible.</p> 2020-06-04 20:00:00 -0500

125!: 125 Masterworks from the Collection
<p>Continuing the celebration of the 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the CRMA, the summer exhibition will look at 125 masterpieces drawn from our own collection. Whereas <em>Across the Atlantic</em> looked at another prestigious American museum collection, we have much to celebrate within our own collection. Works which normally do not hang together because of their diverse subjects or styles will coexist in an exuberant display of the CRMA’s treasures. Works by Grant Wood and Marvin Cone will be joined by those of important early African-American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner, American Impressionist Frederick Carl Frieseke, and American sculptor Malvina Hoffman. Roman treasures will be on view alongside modern and contemporary masterworks. It will be a true celebration of the depth and breadth of the collection, as well as a celebration of the community which made this collection possible.</p> 2020-06-06 16:00:00 -0500

As a retreatant, you will be encouraged to create your own sacred space at home for prayer and reflection ahead of time. To help you host the silence wherever you find yourself these days, we will begin the retreat together to pray and to offer resources for creating and holding sacred space, quieting the self and going deeper. We will gather together for an Opening Prayer via Zoom on Sunday, June 7, at 5:30 p.m. and conclude similarly (via Zoom) with a Closing Prayer on Saturday, June 13, at 11:30 a.m. Each day we will offer an opportunity for contemplative prayer as a group (via Zoom). A trained spiritual director/companion will be happy to talk with you over the phone or via Zoom once daily to enter more deeply into the heart of your spiritual journey. If you have never experienced a week of silence to focus on the movement of the Spirit within, this may be an opportunity for you to come to the quiet and enter deeply into the stillness. This retreat is facilitated by Rev. Rose Blank; Ann Jackson, PBVM; Kim Seward, BSN, RN; and Lucille Winnike, FSPA. The cost of this weeklong retreat is $230 and includes daily spiritual direction and Zoom prayer sessions. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p>
