Spring Term Cancelled

With the disruption of our Spring Term we have no classes taking place in the schools, or at our Music and Arts Studios. We have developed some online classes with the support of the Cedar Rapids Communtity School District. We will be adding classes each week throughout the month of May to our Virtual Classroom. Check back regularly to find fun ways to stay creative with minimal supplies needed!

We are watching COVID-19 recommendations

The Eastern Iowa Arts Academy, like all of Cedar Rapids’ beloved community organizations, is doing its best to gather reliable information from the CDC (www.cdc.gov), and the Iowa Department of Public Health (www.idph.iowa.gov) in response to COVID-19.  We are following the lead of the Cedar Rapids Community School District and College Community School District and monitoring their decisions.  Now that school has been suspended for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, EIAA will not be offering any in-person programming. We have opened EIAA’s Virtual Classroom where there are lots of fun opportunities to keep your creativity flowing.  

If you are a user of our Amila registration platform and want to be sure we have your correct email address, and emergency contact information please contact us (suzanne@eiaaprogram.org). As we return to our in person classes in the fall this information is vital to the saftey of our students. If you have had difficulty receiving email notifications from Amilia about your enrollment in a class, now is a good time to update your account.  It may be that you have not received or accepted an invitation from us.  We can resend an invitation that has a 24 hour window of acceptance.  Please contact us to let us know if you would like us to resend an invitation.  Once you are in the system you can login and check your registration status.  See our Blog post for more and check back on this page for updates specific to classes taking place in the schools!
