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> 2019-02-02 16:00:00 -0600

Music Series Chad Elliott at Mount Vernon Creates

<p>Tickets on sale now, only 10.00 online or stop in to the gallery. You can also reserve your wine and dessert ahead of time.</p><p>Doors open at 6:30 pm.</p><p>Chad Elliott’s soulful, foot-stomping shows are incredible. His laid-back storytelling and his skillful fingerpicking weave well-crafted songs together for an evening of pure entertainment. Averaging more than 200 shows per year, Elliott has been on the road for nearly 20 years performing a blend of Americana, roots and country music.</p><p><br></p><p>Elliott has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Counting Crows, Ruthie Foster, Lonestar, Jimmy Vaughan, etc. He has won coveted awards including the Woody Guthrie Song Contest and Iowa Blues Challenge. He placed 3rd in the International Song Contest with his Americana song, "Same Old Way."</p><p><br></p><p>Details:</p><p>On his 20th album, Wreck and Ruin, Elliott dove into his love of roots-rock, soul and blues music with a rocking band behind his artfully crafted songs. Producer and drummer, Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) lined up the best rhythm and lead players in Nashville to create Elliott’s greatest album to date. Guitarist and bassist Kenny Vaughan and Dave Roe, legendary Nashville players, add the needed touches to rocket Elliott’s songs into a new arena of hard driving Americana.</p><p><br></p><p>“Chad Elliott has assembled not only a great group of songs, but some of Nashville's finest roots music practitioners and producer drummer Ken Coomer to make a soulful and beautiful album. Townes would be proud.” - Will Kimbrough about Wreck and Ruin.</p><p><br></p><p>On his 21st album, RINGGOLD, Elliott recorded songs at his home studio in Iowa. The studio, built in his grandparents’ former home, helped him connect with his roots and explore difficult songs about those closest to him. It was released in 2017.</p><p><br></p><p>Elliott released his 22nd album, Rest Heavy, on August 10, 2018. Rest Heavy was recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN, with his band, The Redemptions. Greg Brown said of the new album, it’s “low, loose and full of juice. This album’s got a lot of life to it.”</p><p><br></p><p>Press Quotes:</p><p>"This album just oozes soul, truth, and seems rather timeless as it could have been recorded almost any time in the last fifty-sixty years." - Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine review of Rest Heavy (US)</p><p><br></p><p>"There is so much to be loved about this album. From start to finish, it's a masterpiece of deep soul and blues that shows you all the pictures of the places that inspired its sounds in every song. You need this album in your collection..." - Amanda Marcazo, The Jamwich magazine review of Rest Heavy (US)</p><p><br></p><p>“Chad Elliott has assembled not only a great group of songs, but some of Nashville's finest roots music practitioners and producer drummer Ken Coomer to make a soulful and beautiful album. Townes would be proud.” - Will Kimbrough said of Chad Elliott'sWreck and Ruin album</p><p><br></p><p>"Chad Elliott is a veteran singer/songwriter who writes smooth, feel good songs ranging from soulful drinking songs to upbeat road-tunes to down and dirty tunes worthy of Ray Wylie Hubbard." - Calvin Powers, The Americana Music Show</p><p><br></p><p>“…Chad Elliott stands out as a timeless and genuine musical poet with supple-strong roots like the bluestem and buffalo grass of Iowa prairie.” - Todd Partridge,<span> </span><a data-lynx-mode="hover" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FNoDepression.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2KMEnwX1mbo7HhdXIsa63qqya7Zn5EAH9itZrOw07XKfHLZUQVO304sbE&h=AT12_nmRhzgg7HwbdLnBRbhpCs_kwgWRYiws9HRYVCIthUELA_NeWn3r1Vr4Iqdccf0H5cXqaYMAVt5Fz7i_U4Eas3eQff1YHff8Ohe0Mmsb5pRyIyyulF_Ni_hiYZT-pQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">NoDepression.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>"In the wide scope of Americana music live stories timeless as the land.

Wednesday Women at Prairiewoods

<p>Are you a woman looking for spiritual enrichment, inspiration and motivation? Join this vibrant group of women that finds spiritual growth every Wednesday in the supportive setting of Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). You are welcome to join any time and to come any Wednesday you can! Topics arise from within the hearts and minds of those gathered. This winter (Nov. 7–Jan. 23), we are exploring a holistic approach to forgiveness and its impact on our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. Reflecting with Marcia Ford’s <em>The Sacred Art of Forgiveness: Forgiving Ourselves and Others through God’s Grace</em>, we consider coming to terms with anger, bitterness and resentment held within our bodies; understanding the differences between forgiveness and reconciliation; taking the initiative in forgiving; learning strategies for listening “with the whole body” in emotionally charged situations; knowing when to forgive and let go—and when to forgive and take action; learning ways of consciously raising our awareness of God in forgiving; and sourcing compassion for others and for self. Deep reflection, learning, lively conversation, laughter, storytelling and inquiry all generate incredible energy and spiritual stimulation. Participants will also view TED Talks, converse, reflect, support and challenge one another to personal growth in any stage of life. The group will have its annual Christmas Luncheon at 11 a.m. on Dec. 12 and will not meet Dec. 19 or 26 in honor of Christmas. The cost is $10 per session (but please come even if you cannot afford to pay). Registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Ann Jackson, PBVM, at 319-395-6700, ext. 203, or ajackson@prairiewoods.org.</p> 2017-07-01 13:00:00 -0500

If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustration

<p>If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children’s Book Illustration</p><p><em>October 6, 2018 – January 13, 2019</em></p><p>Stories about animals have always been a staple of children’s literature. One of the earliest known books aimed at children, the 17th century publication Orbis sensualium pictus, taught children the alphabet by mimicking animal noises. This trope continued in the early- and mid-20th century, called the Golden Age of children’s book illustration. Drawn from the Zerzanek Collection of Original Art from Children's Literature on loan to the CRMA from the Cedar Rapids Public Library, If We Ran the Zoo looks at the various ways animals have shaped children’s literature, from simple science books to loyal pets to fantastical, talking companions.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Audrey Chalmers, untitled drawing from <em>Birthday of Obash</em>, page 6, undated, charcoal on paper, 8 ½ x 9 11/16 inches, on loan from the Zerzanek Collection of the Cedar Rapids Public Library, L2009.0217.</p> 2018-12-12 16:00:00 -0600
