    Curator: Jamie Hahn

    The Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery

    Still/Moving

    September 25 – November 15, 2024

    Featuring work by Jason Bernagozzi (Colorado State University), Jamie Hahn (Kent State University), Evelyne Leblanc-Roberge (University of Rochester), Kristin Reeves (Grand Valley State University), and Eric Souther (Western Michigan University), Still / Moving: Framing New Media explores the relationship between still and moving imagery in interdisciplinary lens-based artwork. The show includes video, photography, installation, book arts, and performance, and shows a progression between analog film, digital video, electronic lens-based media, and new media technologies. From still-capture (using a camera to record and freeze movement), to a moving sequence of images recorded with analog film and digital video methods, the artists make tangible the seemingly mysterious and sometimes misunderstood art that can be defined as New Media.

    Tuesday – Friday: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
    Closed weekends and all Ball State breaks and holidays.

  • Chew on This: What's your Recipe for Community? 6:00pm to 8:00pm @ Legacy West African Cuisine 3124 N Granville Ave, Muncie, IN 47303
    Cost: $30

    Food is fundamental to both our lives and relationships. We organize our days around meals and relationships around gatherings that commemorate milestones. Whether these are the daily gatherings around the kitchen table, or the yearly traditions of holidays and celebrations, food is often the centerpiece of the day and what we serve matters. How does food connect you to community, family, and history? What food traditions do you and your community hold and why? How does food connect you to communities other than yours, building bridges at the table? Can food serve to build and maintain community?

     

    Join Indiana Humanities on Thursday, Oct. 17, as we ask the question, “What’s your recipe for community?” during a special Unearthed-themed Chew on This. Sign up for one of six locations around the state where you’ll share a meal from a local restaurant and a fun, insightful conversation with other curious Hoosiers. Each table will be led by a knowledgeable facilitator, someone to help us grapple with questions about how food acts as a convener in our lives and relationships. Your ticket price includes your meal and an unforgettably engaging experience.

     

    FACILITATORS

    Conversations will take place at different locations around Indiana, all at 6pm local time. When selecting your ticket, please pay careful attention to the restaurant cuisine and your dietary preferences/restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.). All locations will have these different dietary options available. Your ticket price includes a meal, non-alcoholic drinks, and tax and tip at one of the locations. Alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase directly from the restaurant. Refunds are not available after 72 hours in advance.

  • County Council Forum and Dist. 1 Commissioner Debate 6:00pm to 8:00pm @ Muncie Central High School Auditorium 801 N. Walnut St., Muncie, IN

    League of Women Voters to sponsor 

    Delaware County Council Candidate Forum,

    county commissioner debate

    The League of Women Voters of Muncie-Delaware County in partnership with Woof Boom Radio will hold a Delaware County Council Candidate Forum and County Commissioner District 1 Debate on Thursday, Oct. 17, in the Muncie Central High School auditorium.

    The forum for County Council candidates will take place from 6-7 p.m. and the debate between the county commissioner District 1 candidates will take place from 7-8 p.m. 

    Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Attendees should park in the north parking lot and enter the north side of the school building.

    People unable to attend can listen to a live broadcast on WMUN, 92.5-FM, radio or WMUN,1340-AM radio.

    Both the forum and debate are free and open to the public. 

    At the event, campaign handouts, campaign shirts, signs and buttons are not allowed.

    The five candidates running for Delaware County Council are Republicans Brad Bookout, Jessica Piper and Eugene Whitehead and Democrats Chris Musick and Roger Overbey. 

    Voters will have the option to elect this fall three of these five candidates to the Delaware County Council for four-year terms.

    “Voters need to know, however, that if they vote a straight ticket, their ballot is not complete,” said Linda Hanson, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters and the spokesperson for the Muncie-Delaware County League. “Voters need to continue and vote separately for county council candidates in another section. Here voters can vote for one party or a combination of parties.”

    The county commissioner District 1 candidates who will engage in a debate are Democrat Ashley Wright and Republican Stephen Brand. There will be no debate for the county commissioner District 2 race because the Republican candidate does not have a Democrat opponent.

    The moderator for the forum will be Steve Lindell, vice president of programming for Woof Boom Radio. Lindell has been on 104.1 WLBC for 31 years and is the director of news operations for the East Central Indiana Woof Boom Radio group.

    “The nonpartisan event is being held not to endorse a party, but to help inform and engage area citizens about who they are voting for to help make Delaware County a better place to live and work,” Hanson said.

    Audience members will be able to submit questions for the moderator to pose to candidates. Questions from the audience will be screened for appropriateness, relevancy to issues and repetition by League members.  As much as possible, the questions will be read as written by citizens.

    To prepare for the forum and debate, voters can go to VOTE411.org and to become more familiar with the candidates’ positions. If candidates have not posted their information on VOTE411.org, Hanson encourages voters to contact these candidates to do so.

    For background, descriptions of what a county council and what the county commissioners are responsible for are below.

    The seven-member County Council appropriates all funds for county use; adopts the county budget to provide the personnel, as well as salaries, for services county residents need; fixes the county tax rate; and has exclusive power to borrow money for the county, according to the Indiana League of Women Voters “Citizens’ Handbook.”

    According to the Indiana County Commissioners website, “The three commissioners [who are elected to four-year terms] are the custodians of the home rule powers of the county. They are the executive body of the county and are responsible for the following:

    • “County buildings, lands and property
    • “Audits and authorizes claims against the county
    • “Receiving bids and authorizing contracts
    • “Supervising many county departments
    • “Overseeing construction and maintenance of roads and bridges
    • “Exercising many of the legislative powers and duties of the county”

     

    The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots, public policy and educational organization. It encourages informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy. It does not support or oppose any political party or candidate. 

    The League of Women Voters Education Fund and local leagues work to register and provide voters with election information through the election resources of VOTE411.org and candidate forums.

    People of all different governing beliefs are eligible to join local chapters of the League of Women Voters. No invitation is needed. To join the Muncie-Delaware County League, go to this site.
