Brant Weiland Exhibit
Oct. 7 – Nov. 1, 2024
Artist Reception: 3:30 – 5 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 10
The reception is free and open to the public.
Brant Weiland earned a Masters of Fine Art at the University of Iowa, completed a postbaccalaureate program at the University of Arkansas, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Northwest Missouri State University focusing on ceramics and sculpture. He has shown work throughout the U.S. and taken part in residencies at Penland, Red Lodge, OxBow, and Chautauqua.
Raised on a farm in Northern Iowa, Weiland has a lifelong curiosity
about his connection to the land and the items that resonate with his family’s story. This led him to investigating the role of collections, personal heirlooms, and the recreation of objects from memories. He is a frequent traveler and an avid mountain biker, constantly seeking new experiences to share with his partner and discovering the potential his bike tires can yield.

Born in 1980 in Eastern Pennsylvania and raised at the New Jersey Shore, Adam Rake’s work explores the evolution of meaning over time. After earning a BFA in Printmaking from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 2002, he completed an MFA in Printmaking at Indiana University in 2015.
Currently based in Iowa City, where he operates a studio called The Bower, Adam has been a master printmaker at Lasansky Gallery & Studio since 2005. His work has been featured in over 60 group, juried, and invitational exhibitions, culminating in a solo museum show at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art in 2023. He has also participated in international residencies at Guanlan Original Printmaking Base in China, Taller 99 in Santiago, Chile, and Casaplan in Valparaíso, Chile. Adam’s artistic style is rooted in the aesthetics of printmaking through mark-making, layering, and texture, reflecting his interest in the dynamic nature of meaning and cultural identity as it accrues and dissipates over time.
