Gallery 308
308 E MainGallery 308 opens its Paperchaser 2013 exhibition with a free reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 4. The 4th annual show is a juried art show featuring the artworks of contemporary artists working in paper-based media.
Paperchaser 2013 will be juried by noted artist and gallerist Mark Bercier. Mark lives and works in New Orleans, Louisiana. He will be on hand to visit and talk with artists and visitors the night of the opening.
Dave Franklin, Gallery 308 Board President, said, “More than $1,200 in cash awards will be announced at the Gallery opening on April 4 including the Best of Show winner. The Best of Show winner also receives a solo exhibition in 2014.” Local artist, Alfredo Marin Carle received Best of Show honors in 2012 for his self-portrait, “Introspection”. He along with Paperchaser first place winner Ryan Sparrow will have a show at Gallery 308 in October 2013.
Gallery visitors will have the chance to see more than 70 works-on-paper ranging from watercolor, to oils, to mixed media to 3-D. The exhibit will be on display through April 19. The gallery’s new hours are Fridays 3-7pm and Saturdays from 12:30 – 5:00pm. Admission is free.
The exhibit is made possible by funding from Art Mart, Lyle Mannweiler Photography and Indiana Public Radio.
Gallery 308, which provides space for local and regional artists with monthly “First Thursday” exhibits, is in its 13th year as a nonprofit art gallery. For more information about Paperchaser 2013 opening, contact sherry@jackscamera.com.

Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co.
224 E MainWhat is drawing? This is the question posed by Ball State Art Professor, Scott Anderson, to fellow faculty members. Their responses – 15, in total – are the basis of this exhibit. Explains Anderson, “I believe the most elegant and thorough answer to the question is: Drawing is the act of making marks – mark making with many different purposes and outcomes. From traditional approaches and mediums to newer investigations, drawing remains the primary tributary to any art practice.” He continues, “Drawing is still the most direct, unfiltered and honest means to record the world around you and to express yourself.”
While all of the artists have independent styles of creating, and use a wide range of mediums, they all “consider drawing to be an integral, if not essential, component of their art practice.”
Printmakers draw their images before printing them, painters typically draw before painting and potters and sculptors sketch out the details of their pieces before forming or building begins. This universal starting point for each art creation reveals that “drawing remains the primary tributary to any art practice,” as Anderson claims.
Anderson will give a talk about the exhibit at 6 PM during the opening reception on Thursday, April 4, 2013. Many of the other artists will attend the opening, and include Kim Anderson, Hannah Barnes, Brent Cole, Kevin Duffy, Robert Flory, Barbara Giorgio, David Hannon, Heidi Jensen, David Johnson, Sarojini Johnson, Mike Prater, Mary Ann Rahe, Tom Riesing, and Mark Sawrie. Light refreshments will be served and the public may visit between 5 and 8 PM.
On the other side of Gordy’s space, another exhibit will open in the “Nook.” Caitlin Lynch is a recent honors graduate of the BSU Art Department who uses a variety of materials ranging from drawing and painting to performance and installation. Her work “often utilizes invented narratives and simple symbols to tell autobiographical, highly personal stories.” Lynch currently works at Open Door Art Studio in Columbus, Ohio, as an Art Facilitator and at the Columbus Museum of Art. She will speak about her work at 6:30 PM.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. is located at 224 E. Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre. For more information, call 765-284-8422 or visit http://www.gordyframing.com.

The Artist Within
313 S WalnutMay at the Artist Within will feature artwork by advanced high school art students from Muncie Central and Muncie Southside. Art instructors Helen Zacek and Britt Husman have selected "the best of the best" from their advanced two dimensional and three dimensional classes. The show, "Advanced Art", will include drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, jewelry and pottery. An opening reception with light refreshments is planned for First Thursday, May 2nd from 5-8pm. The show remains up from May 2-31, 2013.
Gallery 308
308 E Main“Of Paint and Paper: A Selection of Figurative Works” showcasing the talents of artist Keith Perelli opens at Gallery 308 on May 2. The opening reception for the new exhibit will be held First Thursday, from 5 to 8 p.m. The public is welcome.
A native of New Orleans, Perelli has a strong connection to the colorfully rich texture of the Southern United States, its environment and its people. He works in painting, drawing and printmaking with an emphasis in mixed-media collage and monotypes. His figure-based narratives fuse illusory realism, abstraction and naturalism, focusing on socio-political and personal themes of conflict and discord.
Perelli says, “I am an artist with strong ties to the figurative tradition, and am most intrigued by expressing the human condition through the filter of my experience. Art, history and the rich history of narrative painting are perhaps the greatest catalyst of ideas. I am fascinated by both the beauty and cruelty of nature and man himself.
He added, “I try to see each work as the progenitor for the next idea. I have always been intrigued by images that might be layered or in a sense woven over time. Fabricating and creating collage elements in narrower windows of time allows me the ability to weave or shift disparate elements as one cohesive work, much like a quilter's patchwork, shifting from production within shorter blocks of time to composing when the time and space come together”.
Perelli also teaches painting and drawing at New Orleans Center for Creative Art, a pre-college conservatory for the arts. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Printing from the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA; and a MFA in Painting and Sculpture from the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.
His work has been featured in seven solo exhibitions in New Orleans plus solo exhibitions at Found Gallery Los Angeles, CA and Nau-haus Art Space, Houston, TX. His work has been exhibited internationally in Innsbruck, Austria, in Como and Milan, Italy and in Tianjin, China. In 2010, he was awarded a commission for a public works project on Canal Street in New Orleans. In addition he has received numerous grants and Individual Fellowships from the SURDNA Foundation, Louisiana Division of the Arts and Ratti Foundation.
The gallery is open Friday from 3-7pm and Saturdays from 12:30 – 5:00pm. Admission is free. The show continues through May 31.
Gallery 308, located at 308 East Main in downtown Muncie, is a 501(c)(3) community art gallery which exists to provide exhibition space for artists, encourage innovative work and serve the community as a cultural and educational resource. The Gallery opens a new exhibit every First Thursday. Contributions to Gallery 308 are tax-deductible.

Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co.
224 E MainLike scores of artists before him, Seneca Weintraut keeps a day job. In fact, he keeps many, from trench-digging to casino work to hay bailing. It's how he pays the bills. But Weintraut is also a gifted painter who graduated from Ball State University in 2011 and spent a semester at Pratt Institute in New York City before returning to his father's farm in southern Indiana and all the labor that entails. This latest body of work, in keeping with his biographical and narrative nature, examines the return and what it means to be 'home'. His overall focus is America, and "the honesty of daily life." Using allegory and symbolism to help his audience relate to his images, Weintraut confesses, "I think of myself as a folk artist, telling the story of the American working class through pictures."
The fourth installment of our 2013 Small Exhibit Series will feature Jamie Gray Williams, a graduate from the University of Southern Indiana's art department and recipient of their first Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship in 2012. Her figurative acrylic paintings "explore personal and social issues using exaggerated brush strokes, patterning, and soft, feminine colors." A TOUR OF STRANGERS will be on view in our Nook gallery through the end of May.
Rose Court
125 E CharlesRose Court is pleased to feature Julie Cranfill for May's First Thursday Arts Walk event. Julie is originally from Muncie, having grown up on an Arabian horse farm. Her interest in art emerged from drawing Arabian horses. Now, Julie's work encompasses a wide range of subjects and has been shown locally and as far away as Atlanta, Georgia at the Atlanta Mercantile. Julie also is a member of the Hamilton County Artist Assoc. and teaches private and group painting classes. Come visit with Julie from 5pm to 8pm at Rose Court.

https://www.facebook.com/ModelStrangerPress for Object Permanence:
"Mutts music embraces the inner turmoil, the things that are striven for, the ways that we fall short, the ways we’re let down, as well as the few things that spark us back onto the right track, even if those are the rare moments, the briefest of comebacks." - Sean Moeller, Daytrotter"With dark lyrics and vocals that sound like unfiltered Camels soaked in whisky, it’s no wonder Time Out Chicago once described the Chicago band Mutts as “Tom Waits fronting a garage band.” Usually plugged in, Mutts will bust out the acoustics to perform songs from their new album, Object Permanence." - Tony Sarabia, WBEZ
"Chicago’s rock trio Mutts is known for gritty, grungy guitar distortions and loud in-your-face blues rock. But on their newest album, Object Permanence, you’ll hear none of that. Mike Maimone’s guttural vocals take the center of attention, delivering poignant social commentary over stripped down, unplugged arrangements." - Jesse Menendez, Vocalo.org
"An entirely unplugged affair, the Chicago trio’s third full-length flips the coin on last year’s amped-up companion, “Separation Anxiety,” stripping down to piano, upright bass and drums for a rowdy, rhythmically rich mix of skid row show-boating highlighting biting blues and hootchie-cootchie boogie." - John Joyd, Maximum Ink Magazine

The Artist Within
313 S WalnutLocal resident and recent Ball State graduate Jerry Hannah will exhibit paintings and drawings in a one man show. Hannah had his Senior Thesis Show "Search for Life" at the gallery in July of 2012. An opening reception will be held during First Thursday from 5-8pm. The opening is free and open to the public and will provide those attending the opportunity to meet and visit with the artist.
When asked about his upcoming exhibit, Mr. Hannah explained, "When putting together a show many considerations come to mind and this show takes a step back from what is considered traditional and focus on the art itself instead of how the entire body of work fits together. The art shown varies with aspects of landscape, portraiture and abstract expressionism. Some of this work has been exhibited here before and other pieces have never been publicly displayed. Some of this work is older and one painting has just been recently completed. Some of this work is based on my love of astronomy and others are reflections of social issues. Instead of being about tradition, this show is all about the art."
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co.
224 E MainJessica Summers remembers her mother painting domestic scenes of their rural Muncie home, often depicted at night, which had “an unusual sense of tension created by dramatic lighting.” Fast-forward to 2013, and the daughter has become the painter of dramatic domestic scenes while the mother has moved from the living room into her personal jewelry studio. Similarities abound: Jan McCune was a high school art teacher. Jessica was a high school art teacher before returning to get her MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in painting. McCune holds a BFA/MA in painting. Mother and daughter feel they have a lot in common as artists, despite the differences in media and approach. “I have inherited her love for the mark of the artist, surface and texture…I seem to keep unconsciously using similar lighting and subject matter,” Summers notes. “Her paintings were also very colorful and painted quite thick – similar to mine.”
McCune has been named an “Indiana Artisan,” for her personal designs in pendants. This year she ventured into creating bracelets after receiving an Indiana Arts Commission grant. The grant allowed McCune to purchase needed tools and supplies, and she set out to fabricate 15 cuff or link bracelets. First, working primarily in copper, and then switching to silver, McCune had to learn blacksmithing skills that weren’t required of flat pendants. Heated to make it more malleable, the metal is then quenched in water and hammered into shape over a mandrel. Consumed with a new art form, McCune kept working. The goal of fifteen became sixty, many of which will be on display in the downtown gallery.
The two artists will exhibit together, for the first time, at Gordy Fine Art and Framing for the month of June. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2013, from 5 to 8 PM. Each will each speak about their art; McCune at 6 PM and Summers at 6:15.
Referring to their many similarities as artists, Summers concludes, “Just like my mom talks about her love for design, I am finding that it is the construction of the image that interests me more than anything. None of this is necessarily intentional. It just keeps happening.” She concludes, “It’s in my blood.”
The Nook Gallery at Gordy’s will feature painter Autumn Bussen for June. She is a recent graduate of Ball State University with a degree in Painting and Drawing and the recipient of the annual Small Exhibit award given by Gordy Fine Art & Framing each year at the BSU Student Show.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. is located at 224 E. Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre. For more information, call 765-284-8422 or visit www.gordyframing.com.
Rose Court
125 E CharlesRose Court is pleased to present the work of Melissa Cummings for the Month of June.
Melissa Cummings began as a self-taught artist. At the age of 16, she was painting commissioned murals and many local signs in her home town of Farmland, Indiana. She has been the recipient of several honors including winning two scholastic art awards from the State of Indiana.
These earlier experiences using oil based mediums led her into art studies at Ball State University. “People have been my most inspiring subject matter. The eyes are my greatest emphasis when I am working on a portrait painting.” Melissa enjoys art as a personal therapy. She was busy with other life demands for more than a decade and is re-emerging with a new love for surrealistic abstracts in oil. “This change in genre is allowing me to make creations based from my own emotions. It is raw energy.” Melissa Cummings is eclectic in her work. She enjoys using a variety of mediums and styles. Her portrait work still captures the most accolades from viewers. Please enjoy her artwork created with charcoal, lithograph, oil, colored pencil, ink and graphite starting June 6th First Thursday at Rose Court.

Trivia Brawl
9pm to 11pm @
Folly Moon
114 N Mulberry
Ages: 21+ Every week, egos are crushed and legends are born at Trivia Brawl, Muncie's longest-running pub trivia gameshow. Trivia Brawl offers comedy, current events, politics, local pride, pop culture, science, history, an arms race of terrible team names, and alcohol, mixed together into an Entertainment Nergasm Bonanza™.
- All players are encouraged to gain a competitive advantage by requesting topics
- Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album.
- The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage.
- Booster Charades: The team in last place can optionally play a round of charades on stage for a bonus point while we point and laugh at them
Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 gift certificate. Lose, and possibly get a prize anyway. The games tend to last an hour and a half, unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death)™.
