Love is in the water in the Wonder Under the Waves aquarium. Eggs have been deposited. Fish are performing mating rituals. Fathers are mouthbrooding fathers. Corals are budding. And an urchin spreading its love. Visit the WonderLab coral reef aquarium and discover how the specifics of ocean life pass into future generations.

Juliana Burrell Art Exhibit – Original Acrylic Paintings

This art show is dedicated to our journey through life as we experience and process love and loss.

OPENING NIGHT – On opening night we will begin a community painting of LOVE, LOSS, REMEMBERING & LETTING GO (depending on your Love and Loss journey). You will have the opportunity to honor a loved one, remember a lost one, or let go of someone or an experience in a simple, beautiful and meaningful way.

Opening night is February 7th, 5:00pm-8:00pm.

The show runs Jan 31st – Feb 20th.

BIO – I was born & raised in South America until I was 17 years old. After completing multiple degrees at Indiana University, I joined a professional circus troupe as an aerialist and toured nationally for many years. After touring, I returned to Indiana and began work as an Artist, Art Educator and opened Asabela Studio, a Circus Arts School and now an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Department of Theatre Drama and Contemporary Dance, teaching Aerial Dance.

My artwork reflects passion and whimsy, love and relationships, fascination and emotion. I feel grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to experience a beautiful and colorful life in Brazil, the magic of circus life, the love of family and wonder of becoming a parent, and the pleasure of learning and teaching.

By Hand Gallery presents its artists many-layered and exotic interpretations of Erotica.

The small scale works variously are abstract, carefully representational, and symbolic as they allude to the Erotic in its many forms. The artists sculpt glass, clay, and stone, paint in encaustic oil, watercolor, and pastel, and interlace textiles, mosaic, and wood.

Les Misérables and the French Revolutionary Tradition by Rebecca Spang

Over the last 230 years, France has had at least three major revolutions, four monarchies, five republics, and three empires. Contrary to common perception, Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is not set during the famous French Revolution of the 1790s, but decades later. How can having revolutions become an almost ordinary part of political life, and what role do works of art have in them?

Rebecca L. Spang (B.A., Harvard; PhD, Cornell) is Professor of History and Director of the Center for Eighteenth-Century Studies at Indiana University. The author of The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture and of Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution, she has also written for the Washington Post and the Financial Times.

Cardinal Stage presents “The Roommate” January 30 – February 22 at the Ivy Tech Waldron Rose Firebay. Recently-divorced Sharon is searching for a roommate to share her Iowa home. She couldn’t have imagined that a mysterious New Yorker named Robyn would be the answer to her problems. But as Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, they spark a desire to transform her own life completely. This smart new comedy tackles the challenges of mid-life reinvention, with unexpected results. “The Roommate tugs at the heartstrings as much as it tickles the funny bone.” ~ Louisville.com

Featuring local favorite Constance Macy (Nurse Ratched, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest)!
