Celebrate the arts in Downtown Muncie from 5pm to 9pm on first Thursday in October! Muncie Symphony Orchestra is taking stage at Canan Commons for a free outdoor concert at 5:30pm, Douglas Droste, conductor.

Bring the whole family, share a picnic, dance on the lawn, gaze at the clouds (no rain please!); sip a refreshing, favorite beverage.  It’s all about celebrating the arts and enjoying last warm days in the fall, before moving indoors for the winter.

The MSO will also have an activity booth with instrument petting zoo as one of the Arts Walk vendors. Stop by with your children!

MSO concert presenting sponsor: Raymond James

The Spring 2014 Muncie YART will be held on Thursday, May 1st (5-9pm) and is open and free to everyone! :) 

YART is a Yard Sale for Art. We keep the yard sale vibe going by having the sale outdoors and keeping all art priced under $40. I hold YART twice a year, in May and October, in Downtown Muncie, in the parking lot of Old National Financial on the corner of Walnut and Charles Streets. 

There is no charge to sell at YART, and YART does not take a cut of your sales. Each artist has about a parking space to set up in. Artists manage their own sales and set up their own displays. It's often very windy, so keep that in mind. Many artists make art live during YART! 

YART is an all-volunteer/no-budget event and I am very grateful to Cheryl Crowder of the Muncie Downtown Development Partnership for support and the donation of YART poster printing, Old National Financial for the donated use of their parking lot, and to The Artist Within, Inc. for being great YART neighbors! 

The 2014 Spring Muncie YART will be held at the same time as the May 2014 First Thursday Gallery Walk throughout Downtown Muncie. There is a LOT going on with art shows, live music, food, and community fellowship. The Caffeinery has just opened across the street from the YART lot too. This will be a really fun night for everyone and it's great to support local artists! 

Please "Share" this and encourage artists to sell at YART and buyers to shop at YART! :)
