PlySpace completes the Fall 2018 Residency Term projects with a homemade candlepin bowling alley by resident artist Heather Van Winckle at the Muncie Mall. The bowling project, Main Stream, will be located inside a vacant storefront at the mall (near JC Penney and across from Country Charm) and will be open to the public during select times from October 27th to November 4th, 2018. 

Main Stream explores the game of bowling as an all-American pastime in an all-American location. The game of bowling is unique in that it can be learned by almost anyone at any age and only requires skill to knock down all of the pins at the end of the lane. With Main Stream, the game is reimagined as a short-length candlepin bowling lane with a soft wood surface which will take the impression of the ball after each roll, making it more difficult to roll the ball straight as the games progress. The ball used is small, only 2.5 lbs, and is easy for anyone to roll, though the lane may become difficult to navigate. The homemade lane features a built-in ball return and pin reset, bringing the game back to its simple roots, this time with an artist’s twist.

The public is encouraged to stop by the Main Stream storefront, located across from Country Charm, to learn more about PlySpace, participate in the project, and meet the artist. 

Open Bowling Times

The bowling lane will be open to Muncie Mall patrons and curious community members alike. Times will also be posted at the storefront, and there is no fee to bowl. Children should be supervised by an adult.

About the artist:

Van Winkle is a project-based, interdisciplinary artist who received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute with major focus in sculpture. She is interested in the nuances of American culture and the definition of “normal” social behavior. About this project, she writes, “Consider ‘normal’ as the deepest set tracks in a field we all walked through. All of us took our individual footsteps, sometimes choosing a path others had laid, often deviating either on purpose or without thinking onto untouched soil. A society full of edge-cases still forms a path somewhere in-between. Even if that line truly represents no one person, it represents us collectively. Main Stream examines the ways in which we continually shape our society to either reinforce or deviate from the paths trekked before.”

Celebrate the Arts at Mayor’s Arts Awards,  Nov. 12

Muncie, IN—The Muncie Arts and Culture Council (MuncieArts), in conjunction with the City of Muncie, will celebrate the 4th biennial Mayor’s Arts Awards on Friday, Nov. 12, at Sursa Performance Hall on the Ball State University campus.

The Mayor’s Arts Awards are the most prestigious honors given by the city to individual artists, teachers, non-profit organizations, and patrons of the arts. Awardees will be honored during the 7:30 p.m. ceremony and a community reception will follow in the lobby. Both events are free and open to the public. Masks are required. For complete event information, please visit http://munciearts.org/.

Mayor’s Arts Awards nominations were accepted from the public in eight distinct categories: Arts Advocate, Arts Leader, Arts Educator, Corporate Arts, Artist in the Community, Next Generation Artist, Maker, and Lifetime Achievement. Nominations were reviewed and awardees were selected by a panel of local and regional representatives from the arts, local businesses, education, and community. All nominees will be recognized during the ceremony.

Following on the heels of the pandemic, this year’s event promises to be a celebratory reemergence for our arts communities. The entertainment-filled evening will be led by emcees Laura Williamson of Muncie Civic Theatre and Michelle Kinsey of Indiana Public Radio and Ball State PBS. Live music and theatrical performances from Ball State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance, Muncie Ballet, Muncie Civic Theatre, and Ball State University’s Chamber Vocal Ensemble will be showcased between award presentations. After the ceremony, stay for drinks and dancing at the community reception in the Sursa Hall lobby, featuring music by DJ Jannell, a cash bar, and late night snacks. The party wraps up at 10:00 pm.

“Every Arts Awards year, we hold the ceremony in a different cultural district in Muncie,” said MuncieArts Executive Director Erin Williams. “This is the first time we have held the ceremony on the Ball State campus, so we are thrilled to be able to share this event with the entire Muncie community. Many of us have spent the last year and a half feeling very introspective and isolated. The arts have a unique way of bringing people together, bridging divides, and fostering community. The 2021 nominees have all made exemplary efforts to do just that. We hope this ceremony can celebrate their achievements and also bring a bit of fun to the community at large.” 

The 2021 Mayor’s Arts Awards are made possible through support from the Muncie Arts and Culture Council, the City of Muncie, Presenting Sponsor— Ball State University College of Fine Arts; Nominee Reception Sponsor— First Merchants Private Wealth Management; and Community Reception Sponsor— Raymond James.
