Hearst Permanent Collection Pick

A "Ring Around the Rosie" ghost-like figures circle. Spirits trapped in a dance. A classic. A perfect finale. Spooky season may be coming to an end, but we celebrate the strange & unusual arts all year long.

Today’s fall vibes with ‘Nestled’🍁

"It is in 'Nestled' that I explore home and nature. The branch symbolizes nature, and the spine upholding everyday life and the many choices and decisions one can make. Home embodies familiarity, all held together with the safe supports of family, friends, and community." - Artist, Gillian Christy

It’s the perfect weekend in CF to adventure around town & view all the incredible public art🚲🍁

There is no roundabout way of saying this (get it?) - autumn looks better in Cedar Falls. 🍂

Enjoy the beautiful fall weather with the Roundabout Cedar Falls Public Art Tour from the Hearst Center for the Arts! Explore our city's diverse collection of sculptures and murals, including the Nest in North Cedar, via the mobile tour platform at www.thehearst.org (scroll to the bottom).

By foot or bike, for art enthusiasts or casual travelers, this is the perfect way to soak in the colors of the season. 🧡❤️🤎

Thank you to the Cedar Falls Community Foundation Diamond Art & History Grant for helping make this project possible.

of the artist process. We love a good kiln capture🤍

The exhibition, "Grief Is the Price of Love," from our very own Ceramic Manager & Tech, Amythest Warrington, is on view in the Law-Reddington Gallery at the Waterloo Center for the Arts. Stop over to the center through November 22 to check out the incredible artwork our girl has created.

“My work explores the beauty and pain of loss through art. I physically bear down into the clay, then remove the object, leaving a void to physically represent the emotional weight an experience leaves on us, making the invisible visible. I utilize clay’s unique physical properties of malleability, recyclability, and permanence to explore the dichotomy between strength and frailty as an allegory to the human condition. These meticulously crafted, beautiful objects draw you into serious and often taboo subjects to comfort those who need it, while challenging those that are comfortable.”
