The First Thursday Opening Reception - "Art Makes Dick and Jane Smart" at Art & Soul by Phoebe Gallery on September 2, 2010, at 5-9pm will have a window theme focusing on the importance of the arts in school. Once again the mannequins will tell a story, in their own way, through dramatic, painting and musical arts. The "featured artist" this month is the gifted and talented local artist, Susie Morgan. She will be showing out her collection of beautiful art work which she has named, "Postcards from home...scenes from Old Muncie." The Gallery is welcoming several new artists this month (one from Pennsylvania) in addition to new works by returning artists, both local, national, and international. A special spotlight is going to be shown this month on Tanglevine Crossing of Farmland, Indiana. Although Tanglevine has shown some specialty items at the Gallery since we opened, this month the Gallery has brought in even more than ever before for the Muncie patrons to enjoy. Tanglevine is known for the uniqueness of their gift items, and you will not be disappointed at this month's gallery display of new and different things you will not see anywhere else. Thank you, Tanglevine, for sharing them with us for the month. This will be your first chance to see our new Art Studio. We will begin our art, dramatic, and jewelry making classes in September, and this is where it all will happen. This is a new adventure for us, and you will be the first to share our excitement. In addition, Tanglevine Crossing will be catering this month's event, and our Host will be on hand to serve you wine. Phil Dunn will be at the keyboard to play music and sing a few songs.

...A Documentary about Sneakers, Hip Hop and the Corporate Game

the 3rd film in the Co-Op Film Series (5th year) is Just For Kicks. A insightful, eccentric and at times hilarious documentary unlike any you have ever seen.

Quoting Just For Kicks on IMDB:

Since B-Boys first propelled them out of the New York City playgrounds in the 70's, sneakers have morphed from a tool for athletic performance to Hip Hop's cornerstone symbol of cool and an object of obsession for sneakers collectors world wide. Analyzing this global pop culture phenomenon, JUST FOR KICKS is the first film of its kind to present the underlying culture and personalities that fueled this fashion revolution and its $26 billion global market. Far from a formal history of the sneaker industry, JUST FOR KICKS offers a fun and colorful insider's history of hip hop's most treasured fashion item; revealing behind the scenes stories with exclusive testimonies, never before seen footage and the charismatic personalities that have come to influence pop culture.
