Join PlySpace Resident Fellow, Dave Rowe, for an afternoon of aluminum casting demonstrations, with beer and bratwurst, at Madjax! Minors and supervised children are welcome.

Dave will demonstrate the aluminum casting process using his custom foundry, built during his time at the PlySpace residency this summer.  The demonstration will be held at the Madjax outdoor patio adjacent to Guardian Brewery on Saturday, July 14th. The event will begin at 2:00 PM, with aluminum pours on the hour at 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00.  This demonstration event is free and open to the public. For an additional fee of $10, interested audience members can make a small shape in clay which will be cast during the demonstration. All supplies will be provided, and participation is first-come-first-serve, with a limit of one casting per person until supplies run out. A selection of beer will be available through Guardian Brewery (21 and over), and Bratwurst will be available for purchase from Tastes Good on a Bun ($4 a Brat!).

Dave Rowe is a sculptor, educator, and fabricator. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Sculptural Practices at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and holds a BFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and an MFA from Indiana University Bloomington.

This free monthly event for live poetry reading at The Cup will pair flow with joe, rhythm and brews, beats and beans, and result in many a steamed stanza. I'm Miss Moth and I’ll be your Host and I have only one rule for Cuplets: Buy something from The Cup, each and every one of you, no exceptions. :) They've got espresso, coffee, chai, tea, soda, juice, and yummy food too, from bagels to sandwiches and more. That's right, support your scene with a few bucks to the venue. Don't worry about tipping me, but I'm sure the baristas would appreciate the support too. Let's keep them busy!

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR POETRY!

Cuplets is not curated, everyone is welcome to read. I know y'all are nice and will match the length of your reading to the attendance level so everyone has a chance to read. Read new work or old, rhyme or don't. If it's poetry to you, it's poetry at Cuplets!

Many thanks to the owner of The Cup, Martin George, for inviting me to create this monthly event! And a big ol' thank you to Lucian Cruor for the poetry/café word pairings above! :)

Muncie Arts and Culture Council’s artist-in-residence program PlySpace continues its summer programming with a new project in collaboration with the Muncie Tuhey Pool and PlySpace resident artist  Anthony Bowers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bowers will partner with the Tuhey Pool as the site for his Pool Project, an interactive art-making experience using the public pool as a catalyst for creativity.

The goal of Bowers’ Pool Project is to collaboratively explore the site of the pool as a social space through listening, sharing stories, and art making. Working with the artist, patrons will be invited to listen to the sound of pools using underwater hydrophones, to share experiences through interviews, and to make artwork at the pool during dedicated project hours. Bowers is interested in the ways that the public space of a community pool can enhance relationships and break down barriers in a neighborhood. During short, voluntary interview sessions, participants will be asked to examine the benefits of having access to a community pool and the role that a pool plays in their summer experience. Bowers will also have an underwater microphone listening station set up at the pool which will bring the underwater sounds of the pool to life.

In addition to the sound component of the project, participants will have the chance to exercise their creativity by making poolside Cyanotype sun prints, a process where objects are placed on a piece of photographic paper and exposed in the sunlight, revealing vibrant blue and white silhouettes or shadows. This process is an exciting way to commemorate the pool experience and bring an unexpected activity to a popular summer destination.  All participants will make one Cyanotype sun print to take home as well as one to leave with the artist. These sun prints will be used in a forthcoming exhibition at the PlySpace Gallery documenting the work and projects of all three PlySpace Summer Residents.

Meet the artist and join the Pool Project at the following locations:

Muncie Tuhey Pool (free with pool admission)
Sunday, August 19th from 12-6PM
Saturday, August 25thfrom 12-7 PM
