Thinking Big: Large-Scale Works from the Collection

June 8, 2024 – September 15, 2024

Continuing the exploration of scale, this exhibition features large works of art from the permanent collection to investigate the effects artists can achieve by working big. Large-scale art can dominate a space and immerse the viewer, creating a sense of importance and impact. These artworks demand attention not only through their size, but also through the monumental visions of their creators.  


This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible in part by the Program Support Grant Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Iowa Arts Council, which exists within the Iowa Economic Development Authority, members of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and contributors to the Museum’s Annual Fund.  Annual educational programming has been supported in part by Transamerica.
