The Muncie Makers Market at Make Music Not Meth

The next two weeks are busy for the Muncie Makers Market! :) I know we all look for ways to support our community, this is the time! 

As the whole planet seems to know, Muncie has a meth problem. So do most towns, and it doesn't stop at meth. To combat both this drug abuse problem that tears families and communities apart, and the awful brand stuck on our town, we are fighting back. No one is coming to save us, we will save ourselves. 

Last year brought the beginning of our Community Healing Concert Series, Make Music Not Meth (MMNM). These events look to raise awareness, and to give concrete alternatives to destructive choices. Hoosier Mike Martin is the organizer behind this series, an actively touring musician and concert/club producer, and he has invited the Muncie Makers Market to show kids, before they make those destructive choices, a bunch of wonderful, proactive, creative people making their own community great. We are role models, and I'm proud of that. 

On Saturday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 10th, the Muncie Makers Market will go as usual, at our lot on the corner of Jackson and Cherry Streets from 4-7p. On Sunday, June 4th and Sunday, June 11th, the Market will be also featured at MMNM, at the Downtown park, Canan Commons (on South Walnut by the roundabout, next to the Marriott), also from 4-7p. The music will continue on through the night and there will be all kinds of activities for kids and families including music jams, bounce houses, a musical instrument drive, and much more!

Come see the Muncie Makers Market! Fresh food, locally grown produce, plants, art, handmade crafts, and live entertainment, all weekly outdoors, May-October, at the Muncie Makers Market on Saturdays from 4-7p on the corner of Jackson and Cherry Streets in the Old West End of Downtown Muncie, AND, we are a PokéStop just FULL of lures! 

*We now accept SNAP/EBT on Saturdays!*

Muncie Arts and Culture Council's new artist-in-residence program PlySpace welcomes the Muncie Symphony Orchestra Chamber Concert series to the PlySpace Gallery for a special collaborative performance with resident artist Melissa Joy Livermore. 4 by 4 at 4 features a string quartet performing alongside Livermore's ongoing project, Deconstruction, where guests will engage in the act of taking apart a piece of untreated canvas, thread by thread. Four genres of music, from Baroque to Cole Porter, by four strings musicians will be performed in the PlySpace Gallery. During the concert, PlySpace resident artist Melissa Joy Livermore invites the audience to participate in her community collaborative project, Deconstruction.

Deconstruction is a project that invites groups of people to engage in the task of taking a piece of untreated canvas apart, thread by thread. The process is intuitive and allows the participants to focus their attention on the present moment, engaging with those around them, or in this case, the music. Over the last three years, Melissa has performed Deconstruction with groups in China, France, and the U.S. and is excited to bring this performance to Muncie.

Holding the opposite end of the fabric provides the tension necessary to pull each thread from the whole. In a split second, the tension is released and the thread flutters, dropping into a pile. Each thread serves as documentation of time carved out for introspection, intentional conversation, and listening. The act encourages participants to slow down and observe the beauty of the falling thread and the environment around them.

Tickets for this event are available at the MSO Office (t:765.285.5531) and online here: http://www.munciesymphony.org/calendar-item/chamber-concert-at-plyspace/

Tickets: Youth/Students: $10 in advance; $15 at door.

Adults: $20 in advance; $25 at door.

PlySpace is located at 608 E Main Street in Muncie, IN. Limited parking is available adjacent to the PlySpace building, at the corner of Main and Monroe Streets. Please enter the PlySpace Gallery through the parking lot entrance.
