CEDAR FALLS --- The James and Meryl Hearst Center for the Arts is announcing the debut of a grant project, "James Hearst: Interpreting ‘The Farmstead.'"

The Hearst Center recently added James Hearst's poetry to the Hearst Sculpture Garden.

Staffers have launched cell phone tours featuring archival recordings of Hearst reading his poetry, as well as individual Hearst Center room histories.

In addition, the center now features a multimedia kiosk featuring audio and video recordings of James Hearst, digitized copies of his poetry and prose, and images of artwork inspired by his poetry.

People can stop by during regular gallery hours to interact with the kiosk or log onto the website www.cedarfalls.com/hearstlegacy to view poetry plinths in the Hearst Sculpture Garden.

To listen to the cell phone tour, call 319-243-3247 on any cellular phone and follow the prompts.

The project is funded, in part, by a grant award from Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area, and the Cultural Division, city of Cedar Falls.
