What does Grant Wood, famous for his American Gothic painting, have to do with the American Revolution? It's quite an interesting story, and involves the famous stained glass window in the Veteran's Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids. Cedar Rapids Museum of Art Executive Director Sean Ulmer connects the dots with a fascinating program--please join us! This program is part of The Big Marion Read, a community-wide reading program that connects people of all ages with themed books, activities, and events. More information about The Big Marion Read can be found on the library's website, linked here. The Big Marion Read is made possible through the support of NEA Big Read, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Marion Public Library Foundation, and the Friends of the Marion Public Library. NEA Big Read is a program of The National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
