SUMMARY:Group Art Exhibition: Cedar River Artisans “Voices”
DESCRIPTION:Voices\nGroup Exhibition by Cedar River Artisans\n\nExhibition Dates:\nOctober 9th\, 2025 – Exhibition Opening Day\nNovember 13th\, 2025 – Exhibition Public Reception from 6:00 – 7:30PM in the Community Gallery\nNovember 13th\, 2025 – Exhibition Closes \n \nArtist Statement:\nVOICES will center around what makes our thoughts similar not what makes us different. We look beyond ideologies\, divisive words\, materials and techniques. We live in a time when it is more critical than ever to come together as a country\, community\, and region and find commonalities. How does the ephemeral nature of paper speak to a paused sunset? How can abstraction bring us together in an age of dialogue and representation? Our focus returns full circle to look at our core values to share our interior person experiences and the kinship of the Cedar River Artisans with the greater Iowa community. \nExhibiting Artists:\nRobert Fox\, Ellen Kleckner\, M.L Kline\, Julia Kottal\, Nancy Lindsay\, Marty Mitchell\, Elizabeth Rhoads Read\, and John Schwartzkopf.\n \nArtists’ Biographies:\nCedar River Artisans (CRA) is a consortium of professional artists seeking public and private art commissions for collaborative or individual artwork. We are based in Cedar Rapids\, Iowa. Our artists live in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding regions. Individually\, the members have a history of success in juried art shows throughout the area and are represented in several leading galleries and museums. As a collective we are interconnected. The Cedar River Artisans work in a broad swatch of materials: printmaking\, sculpture\, ceramics\, pastel\, oil painting\, fiber arts and photography. Our working method is collaborative\, and our objective is to produce a unified visual statement through our art and to bring the power of art into your public or commercial spaces.\n\nThe collective consists of eight members: \nRobert Fox\, Ellen Kleckner\, M.L Kline\, Julia Kottal\, Nancy Lindsay\, Marty Mitchell\, Elizabeth Rhoads Read\, and John Schwartzkopf. \n  \n**Work in Event Image (from top left to bottom right)\nJohn Schwartzkopf – Swing\nMarty Mitchell – Phlox at the Quarry\nBob Fox – Spotted Bee Balm\nM.L. Kline – Captured Moments\nNancy Lindsay – Untold Stories\nEllen Klenecker – Loop\nJulia Kottal – Colorfield Lilac\, Green & Orange\nElizabeth Rhoads Read – Super Imposition
