Watercolor Artist to Participate in Creative Connections at the CRMA
Cedar Rapids, Iowa—The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art (CRMA) is excited to present Joyce Schmidt as the next local artist in the Creative Connections series on Saturday, December 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
You won’t want to miss out on this event! It is FREE and open to the public. For more information, please call 319.366.7503 or visit www.crma.org. Watercolor painting is Joyce’s way of being creative and expressing her feelings and emotions. Her work is displayed in many businesses in Linn County. She enjoys sharing her joy of the arts by demonstrating the fun and freedom of working with watercolors, while encouraging others to pick up a brush.
The CRMA’s series Creative Connections: Artists in Action is a collaborative effort between the CRMA and local artists to reach and teach non-artists about the artistic processes. Come and learn from the pros, see how work is down and what it really takes to make great art. You are sure to discover “hidden treasures” among local artists who are creating truly amazing art. Come see some of their work and hear just how they do it!
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the Community Fund of The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
