FOUND FIBER, FOUND OBJECTS, YARN BOMBING: Tactile & Telling.
Feature Fiber Art Installation
Debra Gindhart Dragoo 

YARN BOMBING isn’t GENTRIFFITI, fiber arts can be beautifully showcased in an art installation, perhaps through large-scale crochet or knit installations, intricate textile sculptures, or immersive weaving environments. The interplay of color, texture, and form in fiber arts lend itself well to creating captivating installations that engage viewers on both visual and tactile levels. These installations can explore themes such as identity, tradition, or environmental sustainability; offering a rich and immersive experience for audiences to explore and contemplate. Yarn bombing, also known as guerrilla knitting, is a form of street art where knitted or crocheted yarn is used to create colorful displays in public spaces. It’s a way for artists to add whimsy and warmth to urban environments, often covering objects like lampposts, statues, or bike racks with knitted or crocheted material. Yarn bombing can bring a lot of joy and creativity to public spaces. 

Are you ready to be entertained? CCA’s First Thursday musical guest is Arttacgo Alexander. Arttacgo is a performing arts educator and community engagement coordinator on a mission to create performing arts jobs right here in Delaware County. First Thursdays is the first stop on Mr. Arttacgo's Community Concert Tour, where he will be entertaining the crowd with original music from various genres. 

CCA will again also host a group of amazingly talented artists, creators, and makers. Please join us as we celebrate Muncie’s local arts and culture community. Artists Val Kelley, Janessa Erickson, Melissa Wright Davis, Anita Oppinger, Stephen M. Millben II, Angel Gillette, Rhonda Newsome, Molly McQuire, William Erickson, Mikell Vawter, Stefan McKell, and Hope Mechelle Scates will all be there with their amazing work!

Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. 
224 E. Main
Gordy Fine Art & Framing opening party Jeff Brackett, Precisely Abstract: Gordy Fine Art and Framing is proud to highlight the art of artist Jeff Brackett. The party will be on First Thursday, May 2, from 5 – 8 pm. The artist will be on hand.  Light refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend.

Jeff Brackett was previously a professor of religious studies focusing on South Asian religions.  As a visual artist, he is mostly known for his exquisite and meditative line drawings which are balanced between being purposefully composed and meandering adventurously.  “I draw a single line, followed by innumerable other lines that morph into unique artworks. My emphasis on patterns and precision comes from having Asperger Syndrome, which presents itself as an ability to do repetitive line work for hours on end.”

At 6:15, Jeff will speak about his work and his process. 

The exhibit will remain on view through June 1, 2024. 

Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art. Summer Invitational may also be viewed through the end of August during regular business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5:30 pm, Saturday, 10 am – 3 pm. Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company is located at 224 East Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre. For more information, visit www.gordyframing.com or call 765-284-8422.

Muncie Artist’s Guild
Various locations
Sherry Adkins is our Muncie Artists Guild's Artist of the Month for May 2024. 

Sherry’s Artist Statement: Growing up in the countryside of Indiana, surrounded by fields, forests and wildlife instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature. Often, I would have a front row seat to the deer that wander into the back yard, a view of the many birds that would gather at the bird feeders, and the families of raccoons that would climb up the apple trees for a snack. 
As an adult, I have a sense of peace and a strong connection to God being in nature. I often admired the natural details and textures in nature. I believe that where I find God the most is in the details. Through the art of pyrography, I aim to push the boundaries of drawing with heat and fire, and reveal an up close, detailed view of the wildlife and nature that surround us. 

Her work will be shown at the following locations: Northwest Bank (E Charles), Old National Bank (S Madison), Rosebud Coffee House, Vera Mae's Bistro, and Parlour Salon.
