Muncie Interfaith Fellowship presents:

The Zoroastrian Religion: Its Beliefs and Influence

Mohammad Behforouz and Behrouz Kousari, Presentors

Monday, October 4th, 7:30 PM
Ball State Pittinger Student Center
2000 University Avenue, Room 310

Did you know there are Zoroastrians among us, with a small congregation in Indianapolis and a Zoroastrian temple in Chicago? And did you know the Magi, who are said to have visited the Christ Child, were Zoroastrian priests?

On Monday, October 4th, the Muncie Interfaith Fellowship will sponsor a discussion of the Zoroastrian faith and influence it had in the ancient world.

*PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION*

Due to the large number of people we had at our last meeting, we will be holding this program in the Pittinger Student Center, room 310.

For more information, contact:

George Wolfe - wmwolfe@bsu.edu

Professors: if you plan to send an entire class, please let me know so we can have plenty of chairs available. Credit slips for attendance available.

Hope to see you there!

Greetings!

The Muncie Arts and Culture Council and Ball State University's Departments of Fine Art, Music, and Architecture will join forces with downtown merchants, galleries, and property owners for an evening of art, food, architecture exploration, and fabulous music.

In addition to the well-established "First Thursday" art gallery openings downtown, various Ball State University departments representing the arts will share a wealth of musical talent and visual artistry.

Many downtown businesses that do not traditionally present as art venues will open their doors to host artists from across the East central Indiana region. First Merchants Bank and Mutual Bank will be anchor locations for our guest artists.

Some guided tours of permanent art collections housed in the downtown area will also be featured.

Any artists, poets, musicians, filmmakers, dancers, and/or theatrical groups who would like to be involved in the evening's festivities are encouraged to email chercrowder@gmail.com or call (765) 282-7897.

"Deemed a 'banjo virtuoso' by the Washington Post, Adam Hurt draws on diverse musical influences from the North Carolina piedmont, the mountains of central West Virginia, the Ohio River Valley and beyond to create his own elegantly innovative clawhammer banjo playing."

Ball State English professor and poet Mark Neely will read from his new chapbook, Four of a Kind (Concrete Wolf Press), next Tuesday, October 26th at 7:30 p.m. in Bracken Library, room 104. The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing with the author. Both events are free and open to the public and refreshments will be served.

Praise for Mark Neely's Four of a Kind:
"Think newspaper columns: dispatches from the zeitgeist, fromancestral voices, from dreams, from terra incognita.  Think mullioned windowpanes: visions of the real, the hyper-real, TV, the neighbors. Think triptychs plus one in the excessive American way.  Think classical five-act play minus one in the age of diminished expectations. Think split screen, think directions on maps, think humors of the body.  While each frame is an act that arrests, the other frames undermine, amplify, illuminate, or incinerate the original.  Flights turn into dreams turn into blues turn into names in an amazing shape-shifting way.  They are echo chambers that resonate long after the initial reading. They have a furious and inescapable power."  --Bruce Smith, poet

Wicked grooves, sublime lead singing, great harmonies, sparkling original songs, and a deep repertoire that spans 200 years of American music. That's Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, four people who share an irresistible chemistry on stage. Don't miss your chance to see them live at Pruis Hall this Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just $17 (in advance) and $5 for youth & BSU students. BSU faculty/staff buy one adult, get one free.

Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem is an unusually gleeful string band that celebrates both tradition and improvisation and that stumps the categorizers. (Are they an agnostic gospel band? A homeopathic bluegrass band? Are they crazy?).

The Boston Globe described it as "neo old-timey with cosmopolitan splashes of contemporary pop and jazz." It's an exuberant mix of musical idioms, held together by superb musicianship, impeccable taste, and the band's charismatic vocals. A stage show dips into country blues, vintage swing, modern songwriter fare, and Appalachian fiddle tunes and songs. It's a bracing fusion: listen to Arbo deliver Bessie Jones' version of "O Death" accompanied by fat, bluesy guitar solos and a groove that owes allegiance to the Meters, and you'll see. This is a band that picks up what's lying around "from tin cans to traditional music" and creates something new.

General Admission: $17 (advance)/$22 (door); $5 youth (18 & under) & BSU students. BSU faculty/staff buy one adult, get a second free.

Celebrate the arts in Downtown Muncie every First Thursday! Meet your friends downtown for the monthly art walk, scheduled this month for January 6, from 5 to 8 pm.

First Thursday gallery walk is a monthly event. All the downtown art galleries simultaneously launch their monthly exhibits with extended hours on the first Thursday evenings of every month. Stroll the streets, meet the artists, enjoy live music and find free refreshments at nearly every stop.

Most of our specialty shops downtown keep extended hours during First Thursday, and all our restaurants and pubs will be open late and ready to serve you. So grab your friends, head downtown, and join the hundreds celebrating local arts and culture in Muncie's historic downtown district!

Downtown is part of an arts and cultural district, recognized in 2009 by the City of Muncie. A committee of the Muncie Arts and Culture Council is currently seeking state designation for the district. The group is also pursuing the development of a Cultural Trail, similar to the one currently being developed in Indianapolis, that ties the districts together via the Cardinal Greenway. Read more about the Downtown Muncie Arts District...
