Historical Note

History of the Organization

The Cedar Arts Forum was founded in January 1975 to serve as a local arts agency and as a "catalyst for the arts in a multi-county, Cedar Valley, region."  The Cedar Arts Forum succeeded, with a considerable expansion in programming and geographical coverage, the Waterloo Arts Council.

The Cedar Arts Forum produced workshops, lectures, conferences, exhibits, performances, and arts residencies for schools, communities, and the general public.  Among its best known projects were the annual String Camps, the Very Special Arts Festivals, Food and Art in Lincoln Park, Artworks at the Airport, Black Hawk County art purchases, the Chamber Music Rural Residencies, and Artists in the Schools.  The organization brought local, national, and international performers to Black Hawk County and the surrounding area.

Renata Sack served as Executive Director of Cedar Arts Forum from its inception in 1975 until its dissolution in June 1998.  The extraordinary breadth and depth of Cedar Arts Forum programming are testaments to Renata Sack's energy, intelligence, persistence, negotiating skills, and wide-ranging interests.

Scope and Content

After Cedar Arts Forum decided to dissolve in the spring of 1998, Executive Director Renata Sack contacted University of Northern Iowa Archivist Gerald L. Peterson to see if the University Archives would be interested in the records and papers of the organization.  Gerald Peterson visited the organization's office in the Waterloo Public Library building and determined that the records were a valuable historical resource for research on the arts in the Black Hawk County area over the last quarter of the twentieth century.  Gerald Peterson transported the records from the organization's office to the University Archives in the summer of 1998.

Portions of the records were well-organized, though older records tended to be isolated from similar, more recent records.  In addition, material in unusual formats, such as posters, large photographs, videotapes, and textiles, was separated from material in more ordinary formats.

The current arrangement of this collection retains, in so far as possible, whatever original order was apparent when the records were acquired.  Most of the processing work consisted of eliminating duplicates, photocopying extensive files of newsclippings, and bringing scattered material back together.  After processing, the collection fell into four major parts.

  • Part 1, consisting of Boxes 1-4, includes the business papers, organizational records, and publications of the Cedar Arts Forum.
  • Part 2, consisting of Boxes 5-8, includes files relating to individual or groups of artists and performers who were associated with Cedar Arts Forum programming.
  • Part 3, consisting of Boxes 9-20, includes subject files relating to local, state, regional, and national art organizations, programs, grants, developments, and trends.
  • Part 4, consisting of Boxes 21-25, includes material in unusual formats such as plaques, photographs, posters, and textiles.

Researchers should note that there is sometimes considerable overlap between and among the parts of the collection.  For example, a researcher interested in a performer who put on a show at Hawkeye Community College should look in both Part 2, where there may be a file on the particular performer, and Part 3, where there may be correspondence with Hawkeye Community College officials about the performance.  A researcher interested in the Cedar Arts Forum String Camps should look in both Part 3, where there are records relating to the annual workshops, and Part 4, where there may be T-shirts associated with the camps.

The contents of Boxes 28-31 are a later addition to the collection.  In March 2010, Gerald Peterson picked up four boxes of videotapes from Renata Sack and brought them to the University Archives.  The videotapes are nearly all in VHS format.  Most of the tapes were labeled, though the labels were occasionally cryptic about the actual contents.  Due to time constraints, the tapes were processed without being viewed.  Consequently, the precise contents of the tapes cannot yet be verified.  The inventory of Boxes 28-31 is simply a transcription of the tape labels.

In September 2010, Gerald Peterson picked up two boxes containing videotapes and audiocassettes from Renata Sack and brought them to the University Archives.  This material became Box 32.  The inventory of that box is simply a transcription of the tape labels.

The records of the Cedar Arts Forum are probably the strongest documentation of public art programming in the Black Hawk County area for the last twenty-five years of the twentieth century.  The records provide an excellent look at the way in which public art was financed and staged in Iowa and the Midwest during that time.  The records document significant succeses in which the Cedar Art Forum served as a model arts agency, as well as some very difficult times.  Files relating to individual artists, who worked in many venues and media, are extensive, with local and national newsclippings, agency publicity material, and personal correspondence.  The artists range from those with quite local reputations to others of international repute.  The records in this collection document Renata Sack's involvement in state, regional, and national arts organizations, as well as in local government and civic organizations.  They provide an excellent view of trends in art, design, and community development on many levels.  Documentation relating to the work of the Iowa Arts Council and the Iowa Assembly of Local Arts Agencies is especially strong.  Of special note, in an area slightly outside arts programming, is the material in Part 3 of this collection relating to the design and routing of highways through Waterloo.  Renata Sack served on several boards involved in this work.

With the exception of restricted access to certain personnel and correspondence files, the entire Cedar Arts Forum collection is open to researchers.  Most of the collection is organized to the item level, but portions are organized only to the folder level.
