Recently, we've started opening up The Launching Pad at 7:00pm every Wednesday to host hour-long roundtable discussions for the Muncie art community. Whether you're a performer, promoter, artist, activist, educator, or patron, you're invited to join us every week for this freeform group discussion taking place immediately preceding our weekly board meetings.

Note that the May 7th meeting will NOT be at the Launching Pad! Meeting location to be announced soon.

Muncie’s annual yard-sale styled art-sale is happening this year on September 19th. Yart 2008 will be an all-day event at University Green (adjacent to Shafer Tower), starting at 8:00am and ending at 8:00pm. Artists are encouraged to sign up early for tables, set up whenever they’d like, and stay for as long as they wish. Bring any type of art for either display or sale: paintings, sculptures, sketches, CDs, large pieces, napkin doodles, amateur work, masterpieces, and everything in between. But remember that the price of anything sold is capped at $40 to keep the event accessible to all of us non-rich folks. Email graham@phantomwatson.com to reserve a table, or if you have any questions about the event.

We would like to thank the Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc. for their generous $3,000 grant (from the Endowment for the Arts) to help defray the costs of developing and promoting our all-ages music venue, The Launching Pad.

From the Community Foundation's website: The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc., established in 1985, is a publicly supported philanthropic institution governed by a volunteer board of local citizens. The Foundation manages contributions donated by individuals, businesses and corporations as a permanent community endowment. Distributions from these funds are given back to the community in the form of grants to nonprofit organizations and agencies. To date, over $27 million has been awarded to improve the lives of the residents of Muncie and Delaware County.

Exciting news! Indianapolis arts and entertainment newspaper Nuvo has come out with an article about our all-ages venue, The Launching Pad.

Alan Maugherman's Corrections: "we opened in 2007 and I'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist just to clarify"
