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.

Coe College Contemporary Issues Forum: Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell
<p>Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a world-renowned astrophysicist who, as a postgraduate student in 1967, discovered pulsars, compact rotating stars that emit beams of radiation. </p><p>The discovery has been described as “one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 20th century.” However, her co-author and graduate professor, Anthony Hewish, received the Nobel Prize in physics without her also being recognized despite her significant and direct role in the discovery. </p><p>In 2018, 51 years after her discovery, Bell Burnell was awarded the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. This special prize can be awarded at any time in recognition of an extraordinary scientific achievement and is currently considered one of the most prestigious awards in the physics community. The prize committee not only cited her “detection of radio signals from rapidly spinning, super-dense neutron stars” but also her “lifetime of inspiring scientific leadership.” Alongside her scientific achievements, Bell Burnell has become a widely respected leader in the larger scientific community. She has played an instrumental role in ensuring equal access to science for people from underrepresented groups and has committed to donating the entire $3 million prize to this important purpose.</p> 2018-12-17 21:30:00 -06001/29/197:30 p.m.Coe College Sinclair AuditoriumCedar Rapids -

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>Ben Shahn, <em>Martin Luther King Jr</em>., 1966, wood engraving, 24 7/8 x 20 1/16 inches, gift of Peter O.

Lecture and Book signing with artist Fred Easker at CRMA
<p>Join us for a lecture and book signing of artist Fred Easker's new book "Connected to Place & Landscape Paintings" which is a compilation of his extensive and exquisite work. Fred Easker’s landscape paintings offer an extraordinary view into what is too often considered ordinary. Most often drawing on familiar sites in the back roads of his native Eastern Iowa, he celebrates both the aesthetics and the character of place and offers a keen meditation on the power, vulnerability, and eloquence of land and our relationship to it.</p><p>Easker paints from photographs he takes on “discovery” drives, but his finished images are more than painted photographs. The final images are meticulous in their detail, but more painterly than they appear at first glance.</p><p><strong><em>Easker combines the majesty of the Hudson River School paintings with the smooth brushstrokes and interest in the effect of light upon the landscape of the Luminists…it is the light, when integrated into the landscape, that makes his compositions come to life.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>--Executive Director Sean Ulmer</em></strong></p><p>All are welcome to this free event.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>All are welcome to this free event. </p><p><br></p> 2019-01-12 15:00:00 -0600

Growlers: Reactive Dog Obedience
<p>This obedience class is smaller in size and designed for dogs that are aggressive both on and off leash. If you feel your dog is aggressive, overanxious, hard to handle in most situations, has bitten or may bite, then this is the obedience class for you. If you feel your dog meets the above criteria, then successful completion of this course is required before taking Dog Obedience I. This course sets up scenarios for owners to learn how to handle situations in which their dog may be reactive. Not all dogs will finish this course and be 'cured' of their reactivity, and the course is mostly focused on teaching owners/handlers how to handle certain situations that may arise with their pets. Students should bring vaccination records on the first night of class. Please do not bring your dog to the first class.</p><p><strong>Please read: </strong><span> </span>No dogs on the first night.
