Join us during Gallery Walk hours for a second viewing of Joshua Dudley Greer’s series, ‘Somewhere Along the Line’ set to live music. The performance will feature local composer and musician Craig Michael Davis on piano, Mike Reardon on electric guitar and John Tadlock on drums.

At FAR during Gallery Walk, there will be a pop up show exhibiting works made by participants in FAR’s Wet Plate Collodion Photography Workshop with Dale Bernstein.

Participants completed a 2-day workshop, learning the process of wet plate collodion photography. Artists learned how to blend their creative ideas with a historic photographic medium.

Historic photographic processes can be fairly complicated to set up, so this is an exciting opportunity to show the dynamic images made from the collodion process that dates back to the 1850’s.

FREE | Open to the Public | All-Ages

Cardinal Stage presents “Charlotte’s Web” October 18 – November 3 at the Ivy Tech Waldron Auditorium. This fall the beloved children’s classic Charlotte’s Web returns to Cardinal Stage! When a girl named Fern saves a little pig named Wilbur, she opens the door to a world of friendship and adventure. Together, with the help of the wise Charlotte, the Gander, the Goslings, and even the sneaky Templeton, Wilbur and Fern show the farm and the world just how extraordinary an ordinary pig can be!
New! Sensory Friendly Performance: November 3rd at 4:00pm

Meaning is not as stable and independent as it might appear. Rather than ideas being wholly self-contained, they are contingent, relational, dependent. Meaning depends on context, and the artist has room to intervene by changing that context. In “Left for dead”, artists work with text and image in contexts that provoke, intrigue, and even frustrate us as viewers. We are haunted by images and phrases of the past, always understood through the lens of the contemporary moment and the omnipresence of digital media, and this deeply affects cultural production. Since the protests of 1968, our idea of what constitutes resistance has changed a great deal–even now, the notion of “resistance” is debated actively. Stated simply, the same phrases and slogans can become inert as they are absorbed by markets and become commodities ever more rapidly and completely. Their afterlife is quite different from how they are described in their first, intended purpose. We live in the failures, partially fulfilled promises, and the triumphs of the New Left–what will come next, and to what extent can we act as agents of the future we wish to see?
