Member Artists Showcase

2010-03-26T14:12:00.000-07:00

April at the Artist Within:
April starts off with the "Member Artists Grand Opening". As some of you may have already heard, the tough economic times have hit the Arts District Downtown. ArtWorks, our beautiful co-op on the corner of Walnut and Adams, is leaving. We are truly sad to lose this longtime anchor for the arts. We at the Artist Within have invited several of the co-op artists to form a group of "Member Artists" to exhibit and sell their artwork at the Artist Within. This core group of "Member Artists" will be offering classes in a wide variety of studio areas, as well as providing demonstrations during special events and openings.
Please make plans to stop by during our opening reception on First Thursday April 1st from 5-8pm to meet and greet our new "Member Artists" and check out the new work for sale at the Artist Within.

March Artist: Earl Dunbar

2010-02-22T12:01:00.001-08:00

March at the Artist Within will feature "Spontaneous Reflections" an exhibit of photography by local artist Earl Dunbar. Originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mr. Dunbar migrated to Muncie to be closer to his grandchildren. He remembers taking pictures as a child with his very own "Brownie". His interest in photography continued and he recalls packing his camera whenever he hit the road as a traveling salesman. Nature, animals, sunrises and sunsets were often the subjects as he would stop along the road. "Everything was a picture opportunity to me" states Earl. When he and his wife Penny owned a "Bed and Breakfast" there never seemed to be enough time to really concentrate on the art of photography. With every vacation, family get together or just a ride in the car, the camera was with him. He has been shooting digitally since 2001 and has since purchased 2 additional cameras, a computer and printer. This was when the real fun began. Having received many compliments and much encouragement as he shared captured memories with friends and family, this photographer is ready to share his artwork with the public. Opportunity knocks…will others like what he does, smile with their memories and take a chance on a newcomer making memories together? Earl Dunbar has chosen an interesting assortment of subjects for the work in this show and hopes they conjure up memories for you. His photographs will remain on display through March 27, 2010; framed and loose work will be for sale as well as custom ordered prints.
An opening reception will be held for the artist on First Thursday March 4, 2010 from 5-8pm.
Light refreshments will be served and the reception is free and open to the public. Please make plans to meet Mr. Dunbar and visit the other Downtown Galleries that evening.
