Brucemore Mansion Tours
<p>A visit to Brucemore explores more than 130 years of Eastern Iowa history through the lives of the three families who called Brucemore home—the Sinclairs, the Douglases, and the Halls. They were business and community leaders during a century of evolution in the Midwest. The changes they made to their estate, the impact they had on their community, and the stories they left behind shape our understanding of modern Cedar Rapids, eastern Iowa, and the American Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Mansion tours are offered March through December, Wednesday through Sunday. Inquire for times within the general visiting hours. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in the visitor center. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as tours sell-out, especially during periods of high demand. Admission fees vary by tour selection, season, and ticket type. </p> 2019-06-28 15:15:00 -0500

Art Exhibit: Cedar River Artisans
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present the Cedar River Artisans, a collective of Iowa artists interested in discussion between diverse subject matter and medium. Participating artists include: Dean Dunkel, Robert Fox, Nancy Lindsay, Marty Mitchell, Tom Newport, Elizabeth Rhoads Read and Lou Wendel.</p><p><br></p><p>The artists within the collective work independently to each develop their visual style; paintings, ceramics, sculptures, fiber works, and photography are featured in this exhibit. Variance between the works gives the viewer a space to explore and fuels energy in situ. Cedar River Artisans initially started as a group of artists who met weekly over lunch to talk about art and give one another support and advice. Over time, their gatherings evolved to a point where they decided to show together. The coterie has exhibited together across Iowa and beyond since 2011, and, as independent artists, received several awards and merits. Many of the participants’ artworks can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

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> 2019-06-28 16:00:00 -05006/28/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -
