2nd Thursdays, December 12 & January 9, 4:00 – 5:00 pm
For the months of December & January, we are reading: Ninth Street Women, by Mary Gabriel

Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, exhilarating and sometimes tragic, chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting–not as muses but as artists. Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing social code and replacing it with a doctrine of liberation. In Ninth Street Women, acclaimed author Mary Gabriel tells a remarkable and inspiring story of the power of art and artists in shaping not just postwar America but the future.

The Juniper Art Gallery Book Club meets the second Thursday monthly in the Juniper Art Gallery Community Room
46 E Market St, Spencer, IN 47460 (south side of Spencer’s historic courthouse square)

Our readings focus on art, artists, art history and all things CREATIVE! Come have fun, get inspired, and learn more about our creative nature!

See the Museum in a new light! Trees, decorations, trains, and villages will be the only lights on to create a special glow. If you like viewing holiday decorated houses at night, you will LOVE seeing the beautiful view of Christmas lights in a mansion museum.

Cardinal Stage presents Disney’s “Newsies” December 12 – 29 at the Buskirk Chumley. Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this high-energy musical soars with rousing dance numbers and memorable songs. When New York publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst try to increase their profits by taking advantage of hard-working newsboys, the charismatic Jack Kelly steps up to lead a band of young “newsies” to strike for what’s right.
