Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal">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. We are invited to join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Monday of each month for a healing drum circle. As we prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! 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 is accepted at the door. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-08-19 19:00:00 -0500

Parents Provided Tips for Child's First Cellphone
<p>It’s that time of the year when kids head back to school. It’s also a time when many students receive more responsibility.</p><p>Students may face the responsibility of receiving their first cellphone – a subject many parents are anxious to tackle. The most appropriate age that a child should be given a cellphone, how much screen time should be allowed and what are some tips for smartphone usage are questions that families may have when they purchase that first phone for their children.</p><p>U.S. Cellular associates in Coralville will host a free Device Workshop, where they can help you navigate the uncertainty of buying your child’s first cellphone. The workshop is open to everyone. You do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.</p><p>“Purchasing a cellphone is never a task that should be taken lightly, but getting one for your child is even more important,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Iowa and Nebraska. “Our tech experts are here to provide tips to help you figure out if your child is ready for their own phone. Many parents say safety is a main reason they want to get their kids a cellphone, so we also have a strong network to ensure you can reach them when and where you need.”</p><p>Please call 319-341-6050 for more information.</p> 2019-08-14 11:45:00 -05008/25/1911:00 a.m.U.S. CellularCoralville -

Museum Store Artist Of the Month: Sara Benesh
<p>I love journals as a medium since I know the artistic process doesn’t end with me. Every aspect of each journal is carefully thought out-from the repurposed leather that allows me to choose the exact design of the exterior to the splash of color that make the end pages- meant to delight and surprise the eye when opening each one. Each piece is an invitation to its new owner to explore and create. Every journal is hand sewn with love and intended for use with your daily adventures; great or small, neat or far, or wherever they may take you. </p> 2019-08-25 16:00:00 -0500

Into the Blue: An All-Iowa Juried Exhibition
<p>A color-specific celebration of Iowa artists! Juried by CRMA Associate Curator Kate Kunau, <em>Into the Blue</em> draws work from artists all over the state of Iowa. The work on display must have been created within the last three years and blue must be the dominant color. <em>Into the Blue</em> celebrates the hue in both two and three-dimensional works across all media and examines how blue has been incredibly important to artists for centuries: From the luxurious (and expensive!) ultramarine used to color the Virgin Mary’s cloak and star-studded vaults of heaven in medieval and Renaissance art to the exuberance of Yves Klein’s trademarked shade and, blue has long inspired artists and this exhibition.</p> 2019-08-25 16:00:00 -0500

John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-08-25 16:00:00 -05008/25/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -
Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p><strong>Terra Nova: Ten Years</strong></p><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>April Woolsey, <em>Ascending Blocks</em>, 2003, terracotta, 13 ¼ x 6 1/3 inches, gift of the artist, 2010.037. </p><p><em>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.

Guided Nature Experience at Prairiewoods: Tree Wisdom
<p>Trees are lovely spiritual companions. Let’s sit with them and listen to their wisdom! As Mary Oliver wrote, “‘It’s simple,’ they (the trees) say, ‘and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.” Facilitator Emelia Sautter invites you to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to be filled with light and shine like the trees! The cost is $10, and registration is appreciated but not required. Please dress for the outdoors. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-06-30 15:30:00 -0500
