Med Quarter Ribbon Cutting: Pocket Park on 3rd & The MedQ Mile

9/20/2018

0 Comments

The Med Q celebrated the completion of the pocket park, "MedQ Park on 3rd" (the park next to the gallery) and the MedQ Mile walking route.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Hart, members of the Cedar Rapids Medical Self Supported Municipal Improvement District Commission, and other local officials were in attendance to speak about the park and future plans for the district.

The MedQ Park on 3rd opened a new green space in the District. The park will provide a pedestrian and bike-friendly green space well-suited for yoga classes, musical events, food trucks, and additional programming.

The MedQ Mile is a one-mile loop in the District well suited for pedestrians and people in wheelchairs. It promotes healthy activities for employees and visitors in the District. For more information on the MedQuarter or strategic initiatives throughout the District, visit www.themedq.com.

Coming soon?
We apologize for any inconvenience construction is causing. The road isn't completely blocked off, and there is usually enough space around the cones to get into the parking lot. Thank you for your patronage and your understanding!

Soon-to-be green space....soon.

Most recently, we sat down with Dennis Green from KCCK for an artist interview with Mary Zeran to give a preview to listeners about her upcoming Artist Talk: January 11th, 5:30-7pm. Her solo show A Rainbow Colored Dream! is currently on view and will be up until January 19th.

To watch the recorded session of 'Really Flat Sculptures', CLICK HERE.

Back in late October, we were surprised to find a news crew outside the gallery one busy Monday. Suzy had previously been approached to approximate a value of some artwork by a French artist from the late 18th Century, found at a thrift store. Turns out, they had some value- who new(s)!

We had the pleasure of visiting Ann Royer's Studio yesterday morning to pickup a few new works and to see some works in progress.

Looks like Ann is getting ready to do some bronze casting! She hasn't made these works in quite some time, so we are thrilled to be seeing current happenings for future offerings at the gallery.
