Caution—Artists at work!, Free

Take a detour through the CRMA today to see all sorts of artists working in their assorted styles and media—live! The galleries are full of artwork that’s finished, but you only get to see the end result of all the work that went into their creation. Now you can see behind the scenes, watch artists work on things like paintings, lithograph prints, mixed media, clay on pottery wheels, art restoration, and much more. Admission to the galleries is FREE during this event, so be sure to check out the CRMA’s new exhibition, Men and Women at Work (Oct. 4, 2025 – Jan. 18, 2026).
This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible in part by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the Carleen and Eugene Grandon Charitable Foundation, and the McIntyre Foundation.  Support has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Iowa Arts Council, which exists within the Iowa Economic Development Authority.  Annual Educational support has been provided in part by The Aegon Transamerica Foundation.
