    Downtown Development
    The Great Muncie Mystery, 5-8pm
    You are cordially invited to join the party Downtown during September’s First Thursday for The Great Muncie Mystery! A heist has taken place during one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. One of his most important guests had their necklace stolen and a servant was canned for it. They insist that they were framed and need our help to find the thief and bring them to justice.

    On Thursday September 5th, put on your Roaring 20’s glad rags and meet us at Dave’s Ally or Canan Commons starting at 5:30pm to pick up your Crime Tracker, then solve the riddles that will lead you to ten different business along Downtown’s main drag. In each correct location, you will find either a suspect or a piece of evidence to help you solve the mystery. Turn in your guesses at the lobby of Muncie Civic Theatre by 7:30pm, then stick around to cut a rug on the mainstage with Harmony Dance Studio while you wait to find out who the caper is and which of our local gum-shoes will solve the crime!

    Anyone who successfully identifies who-done-it and the evidence proving it will be entered into a drawing for some spiffy prizes from our generous partners around town, but you must be at Muncie Civic during the drawing to claim your prize! If you want to continue the fun after the main event, keep your eyes peeled to find the Speakeasy details at the big reveal!

    The Great Muncie Mystery is hosted by Ball State’s Office of Community Engagement, Ivy Tech Community College, Muncie Downtown Development Partnership, and our very own Muncie Civic Theatre.

    Toren Scott is a ceramic artist and owns Made in Muncie Pottery in downtown Muncie.  He is a U.S. Navy veteran and recently received his degree from the School of Art at Ball State.  His ceramic robots often seem patched, cobbled together, and reconstructed reflecting his own injuries and physical limitations through “humor, function, playfulness, and beauty.”

    Stephen M Millben II is a graphic designer and owns Screenbroidery, a silkscreen and embroidery shop located in the Village near Ball State University.  He grew up in Muncie and received a degree in graphic design from Ball State before moving to the west coast to launch his career.  His original art works are at times purely abstract.  At other times he arranges and designs his daily doodles into larger compositions that record the events of his life.

    At 6:15, Toren and Stephen will speak about their work and their processes. 

    The exhibit will remain on view through November 2, 2024.
