The Spring 2017 Muncie YART
5:00pm to 9:00pm @
Madjax Maker Force
514 East Jackson Street
Muncie, Indiana – YART is Coming!
YART is a Yard Sale for Art! YART began in Muncie, Indiana with students at Ball State University and continues in several U.S. cities! The Muncie YART is now held in Downtown, twice a year, Spring and Fall, on the First Thursday of every May and October.
The Spring 2017 Muncie YART will be held on the same date as the First Thursday Gallery Walk, at Muncie's wonderful makerspace, MadJax, on the corner of Madison and Jackson Streets in Downtown Muncie, Indiana, on Thursday, May 4th, from 5-9pm.
This community art sale, with a goal of making art affordable and accessible to everyone, brings together artists and art patrons in a casual and unique setting.
All forms of art are welcome! Art of all kinds, by all kinds of artists! YART encourages interaction between artists and the community, hoping to make art more accessible, especially to those who think they cannot afford to buy art for themselves. To this goal, all YART art will be priced below $40!
Each YART Artist will be present throughout YART to meet the public, discuss their art, handle sales personally, and some artists will be making art LIVE at YART!
The Spring 2017 Muncie YART will feature a wide variety of jewelry, clothing, photography, oil/acrylic/watercolor paintings, fused glass, ceramics, knits, pottery, candles, toys, drawings, sculpture, lampwork glass, stuffed animals, digital art, mosaics, the Midwest Writer's Workshop's Poems While You Wait, Mystical Harp, LIVE ART and LIVE MUSIC, and so much more!
Fun for all ages - YART is for the whole family!
Miss Moth (Director of the Muncie YART) and the YART Artists very much thank Jennifer Greene of MadJax/Co:Lab, Kim & Rob Miller of Tribune Showprint, and Cheryl Crowder of the Muncie Downtown Development Partnership for their generous support! YART is an all-volunteer, no-budget, community event. THANK YOU!

The Two-Town Theater auditions for My Three Angels
6:30pm to 8:30pm @
Madjax Maker Force
514 East Jackson Street
The Two-Town Theater Company has announced auditions for “My Three Angels,” the company’s second production. Auditions are 1-4 p.m. Sunday at the New Castle-Henry County Library, 376 S. 15th St., New Castle. Auditions continue from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at Madjax, 514 E. Jackson St., Muncie.
“My Three Angels,” a comedy by Sam and Bella Spewak, is set at Christmastime in French Guiana in 1910. A family who runs a small shop is in dire straits because a mercenary uncle who owns the shop is arriving with intentions to close the business. Three inmates, trustees from Devil’s Island who are repairing the roof, assist the family with a series of unorthodox methods so that eventually, good triumphs over evil, romance flourishes and the shop remains intact.
The comedy was written in the 1950s and starred Walter Slezak in the role of Joseph, one of the three convicts. The play ran for over a year and a half on Broadway, a very good run for a non-musical. Since then, the play has been a staple for theaters across the country, especially during the holiday season.
There are roles for seven men and three women. The male roles require actors from their early 20s (one convict, the young lover, and a late arrival) and actors upward in age to include a father, a very difficult uncle and two other convicts. The roles for women are for one young woman in her late teens or early 20s, her mother and a busy shopper who could be any age.
Performances will be Dec. 7-10 at Madjax in Muncie and Dec. 13 and 15-17 at the New Castle Henry-County Public Library.

The Art of Getting Crafty at Guardian Brewing Co.
6:00pm to 7:30pm @
Madjax Maker Force
514 East Jackson Street
Cost: $20 per person Ages: 21+ In this workshop, we'll be making a holiday décor piece centered around an arrangement of origami fir trees. You will learn how to fold your own wonderful little fir trees and arrange them in a glass jar with different colored and textured materials to simulate the ground, the grass, and the snow. A focus on design keeps this project classy and challenges participants to look at how color, texture, size, and arrangement can change a simple craft into an elegant, decorative piece. After this workshop, you will also be able to easily and quickly fold a fir tree out of almost any kind and size of square paper. These are great to use as easy holiday décor or as embellishments on holiday packages. They are also addictive to make and quite fun to teach to your family and friends.
This workshop will be at Guardian Brewing Co, located at Madjax 514 E Jackson Street. The workshop is $20 per person to attend and includes one free drink. This workshop is open to ages 21 and up.Jan 11, 2018

PlySpace Open Studios
5:00pm to 8:00pm @
Madjax Maker Force
Second Floor Artist Studios
514 E Jackson St, Muncie, IN 47305
The 2018 Spring Term PlySpace Open Studios invite the public to Madjax for Brink of Summer ArtsWalk in Downtown Muncie! Open Studios offer an opportunity to learn more about our current residents and their personal and collaborative residency projects. Ask questions about their artwork, their creative processes, and upcoming events and activities once they leave PlySpace.
Spring 2018 Residents: Melissa Joy Livermore, Nick Witten, and Danielle Graves
Melissa Joy Livermore has recently returned to Indiana from extended visits abroad where she was reminded of the importance of creating space for others to express themselves as she tried to hold conversations in China and France, constructing sentences word by word. During her time at PlySpace she has been researching linguistics and looking for connections between language learning and interpersonal communication. She will share video work that documents a computer's attempt to provide thought for thought translation of lines from the Tower of Babel in google translate.
Nick Witten and Danielle Joy Graves work collaboratively with themes of character appropriation, branding, and other elements from pop culture and entertainment— arranging, distorting, and perversing these elements to create absurd alternate versions of reality. Their time at PlySpace will result in the exhibition of new work at Kime Contemporary in Indianapolis. Their open studio event will preview the collaborative process for this new body of work.
PlySpace is a program of the Muncie Arts and Culture Council in partnership with the City of Muncie, Ball State University School of Art, and Sustainable Muncie Corporation. PlySpace is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.Jul 13, 2018

PlySpace will hold an Open Studio on the second floor of Madjax on the first Thursday in March, from 5-8 PM. All four of the Spring term residents will offer glimpses into their creative practice and will be available to answer questions about their upcoming projects.
Kevin Titzer
Kevin Titzer was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana in the United States, although he has been based in the Saguenay region of Quebec for the last nine years. His sculptures are predominantly created from found and scavenged materials. His site-specific installation work is often crafted from materials gathered at the location of construction and formed into improvised house structures. These structures are highly informed by the communities they are created in. Titzer has been exhibiting professionally in art galleries for twenty years and his work has been shown in Canada, Mexico, Japan, UK, and across the United States.Siena Hancock
Siena Hancock is an interdisciplinary artist who makes sculpture, interactive installation and artist books/zines. A Boston native, Hancock graduated Massachusetts College of Art with her BFA in 2016. She has recently completed an installation at the Dirt Palace in Providence, RI and a residency at Main St Arts in Upstate, New York. Research plays an important role in Hancock’s practice, utilizing an ethnographic approach she records interviews with women as part of ongoing project Feminist Utopias. Her current work deals with cyberfeminism, alternative realities, mythology, and how technology affects social customs.Matt Litwin & Victoria Eidelsztein (FaceMePor Favor)
After graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago seven years ago, Matt Litwin started his own business, Limpio Designs. The name Limpio, which means clean in Spanish, was created to help ‘clean’ oppressive environments in Chicago with positive and colorful artwork. Through Limpio, Litwin had the opportunity to work as a traveling muralist and street artist. Within the medium of murals, he painted artwork that celebrates natural ecosystems and endangered animals. These murals often juxtapose the monotone grey walls of the city with the bold and pastel colors that he paints using aerosols and latex paints. Through his travels, Litwin has inspiration from people in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.Victoria Eidelsztein (Argentina) has a degree in Visual Arts with an orientation in print making. Since 2008 she has exhibited her work in different collective and individual exhibitions: Palais de Glace Museum, La Sin Futuro, El Ojo Errante Gallery, Panal 361 Artist Residency, Freudian School of Buenos Aires, among others. After graduating in 2013, she has been teaching art in different spaces in Buenos Aires: Flexible Lab, Pinta Conmigo and also at Martín Buber and September elementary schools. Her work has progressed through various media: printmaking, drawing, digital art and painting. For the last couple of years Victoria focused her work on portraits. In January and February 2019, Victoria will be a resident artist at Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York.
