Stuffie Clinic at MCM

Going to the doctor can be scary for children, especially if they don’t know what to expect. Ball State University Child Life Students will be joining us on February 22nd, from 1-4pm, for a Stuffie Clinic to help promote positive interactions and teach coping strategies for when medical care is needed. Using a stuffed animal as a patient, children will have the opportunity to explore and play with medical equipment and tools doctors use and talk about what they do in a language children can understand. Children will receive a free stuffed animal donated by PetSmart- Anderson and Muncie (whiles supplies last). This free community event is sponsored by Knights of Columbus-Muncie. Museum admission is FREE all day.

Giveaway: Stuffie Clinic guests will have the opportunity to be entered into a drawing where TWO winners will receive a 1 year family membership to the Muncie Children's Museum (current members excluded).

The School of Art and The Griner Gallery invites the public to the 90th Annual Student Art Show, a competitive juried show honoring the School of Art's outstanding student artists. Come view the work of our talented students for free!

The show is juried by a professional artist from outside Ball State, resulting in an exhibition that includes a broad range of artworks, media, and styles. This annual event is a great opportunity to see the exciting art produced by the students in the School of Art, and a must-see event for anyone who appreciates contemporary art. We hope you can stop by and check out this exciting exhibition!

All students currently enrolled in classes in the School of Art are eligible to enter artwork for the juror’s consideration. Work from all areas of study in the School of Art are eligible for entry, including animation, ceramics, drawing, game art/design, glass, graphic design, graphic arts management, illustration, metals + jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video and new media. Approximately $5000 in awards are given each year.

Strother Theatre

February 21-22, 25-27 at 7:30 p.m.

February 22-23 at 2:30 p.m.

A raunchy, no-holds-barred satire, POTUS: or, Behind Every Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive follows seven brilliant but tired women risking their lives and liberties to save the President from a four-letter scandal rocking an alternative-reality White House. Fast-paced, chaotic and funny, POTUS is a clever ensemble comedy that takes a hard look at the politics of the patriarchy and critiques the roles of empathy, ambition, and the pursuit of power in a deeply divided America.

This play is FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.

“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
