Art Exhibit: True Maps
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>True Maps</em>, a solo exhibit of new works by Thérèse Murdza.</p><p>A writer turned visual artist, Thérèse Murdza began drawing big words on giant rolls of paper in 1998. Using an animated range of circles, lines, and colors, she continued her work onto stretched canvas, eventually building her signature bright, richly textured paintings. Her previous training remains an influence: “In college, I studied theater performance, learning new forms of materializing sounds in transitory space. I acted, directed, and wrote poetry and plays. After graduation I distilled my writing further, in search of the precise moments of emotion and of contact. Not narrating the beginnings and ends, but middles; the being in the middle of things. Years spent living up and down the east coast had me literally taking the words apart. Disintegrating the shapes of the words into lines, circles, squares and color. Seeing music, hearing words, somehow marking sound in charcoal, ink, pencil, and then: paint.”</p><p>Thérèse has a BS in Theatre Arts from Towson University, MD. She studied Life Drawing at the Durham Arts Council School; Botanical Drawing at the ArtSchool at The ArtsCenter, NC; and Mural Painting with Larry Kangas in Portland, OR. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon and has exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Her work can be found in many residential, commercial, and museum collections, including: Kaiser Permanente Beaverton Medical Office. Portland, OR; Bluebird Real Estate.

Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p>Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. 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. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. 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 will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-02-15 19:00:00 -0600

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.

American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times
<p>American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times brings together seventy-seven images culled from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Getty Images, private collections, and the Kennedy family archives. The dramatic scope of Kennedy’s life is evident in these photographs—from his first congressional bid as a decorated war hero in 1946, his fairytale marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, his run for the White House in 1960 and role as commander in chief, to the tragedy of his death in Dallas in 1963. These images remain as vivid evidence of John Kennedy’s imprint upon the American conscience.</p> 2019-04-23 16:00:00 -0500

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.
