SUMMARY:Creative Artists Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:COME CREATE WITH US!\nThe Creative Artists are offering the opportunity for artists to come together\, make art\, and enjoy camaraderie with fellow creatives. Many folks have the desire to make art but lack the space for it\, prefer the company of others while creating\, or both! This open studio workspace\, offered twice a month\, will give you that combination. Join fellow creatives at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy for 3 hours of painting\, drawing\, fabric art\, collaging\, or your own brand of creating.\nYou will need to bring your own materials and supplies. There is a sink available for water and washing up. The space we’ll be using is on the main level of the building. Parking is available in front or back of the building with handicap spots in front on B Avenue. Snacks will be provided but you may always bring your own.\nThere is a $10 fee for each studio session to defray the cost of space rental\, payable at each session. You do not have to be a Creative Artists member to attend. Everyone over the age of 14 is welcome\, regardless of experience or skill level.

SUMMARY:Studio Visit - Mary Zeran
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a visit to contemporary abstract painter\, Mary Zeran’s studio in the Cherry Building. Please contact organizer\, Leah Greif\, if you plan to attend. \nFrom Mary’s website: \n\n\n\n\n\n“My work is rooted in the belief that joy is a form of resistance. \nIn a world that often asks us to shrink\, dim\, or disconnect from ourselves\, I create art that does the opposite—it reignites\, expands\, and remembers. Through bold color\, layered texture\, and abstract form\, I make work that reconnects people with their vibrancy—the part of them that still feels curious\, alive\, and full of possibility. \nMy materials and process mirror this emotional landscape. I paint on transparent polyester film using fluid acrylics\, letting color slide\, pool\, and collide on uneven surfaces. The result is organic\, expressive\, and intuitive—compositions that are less about telling a literal story and more about creating a feeling. A reminder. A spark. \nBecause your light was never lost. \nIt just needed something to reflect it back.”
