Telling Stories through Art, Free

Explore our new fall exhibitions and see how the art of story is conveyed through paintings, drawings, photographs and more. You’ll meet docents who can tell you the stories behind specific pieces and the artists who created them, and you’ll hear CRMA curator Julia Jessen discuss how the selected works and the way they’re arranged tell a story as a whole during this opening reception for the fall exhibitions. Powerful: The Art of Kathe Kollwitz is on view 9/13/2025 through 1/4/2026, and Men and Women at Work: Images of Labor from the Collection is on view 10/4/2025 through 1/18/2026. This event is part of the Cedar Rapids Storytelling Festival; to find out more about the festival visit CRStorytellingFestival.org or contact info@CRStorytellingFestival.org.
