Art Center for Cedar Rapids Debated by City Arts Figures
Two schools of thought define Cedar Rapids art policy with proposals to center city arts at Coe College or to keep civic and college art activities separate. Memorial Hall and Grant Wood pieces figure in museum options as open meetings aim to resolve future direction.

Jane Wilson’s paintings form part of the Iowa Alumni exhibition at the University of Iowa’s Fine Arts festival Memorial Union.
