I Am: A Vision of Our Future
9am to 5pm @
Minnetrista Museum & Gardens
1200 North Minnetrista Parkway, Muncie, Indiana 47303
April 11–June 7, 2026
Center Building, Indiana Room
Created in partnership with Muncie Juneteenth, this powerful exhibition turns the spotlight to our community’s youth. I Am invites children to imagine themselves in the futures they dream of—scientists, artists, leaders, caregivers, and more—and captures those visions in striking portraits.
Each portrait is a declaration of identity and aspiration—because when children see themselves reflected in the world around them, it affirms that they belong. I Am is both a celebration of dreams and a call to action: the future of our community is already here—and it’s bold, brilliant, and full of promise.https://www.minnetrista.net/events/i-am-a-vision-of-our-future

Peace Plaza, Ball State University
located between Bracken Library and the College of Architecture and Planning
In the face of relentless ICE terror and the approaching threat ICE poses to the Ball State and Muncie community, our institutions have a responsibility to act now to protect our most vulnerable. Ball State University's silence on the constitutional rights of its students, faculty, and staff and on the deadly threat posed by ICE is reprehensible. We demand better. Join the Young Democratic Socialists of America at BSU to demand that Ball State University take action to protect foreign-born and POC students, faculty, and staff from ICE terror. Let us all be reminded that beneficence belongs to the people. This protest will feature speeches, chants, and songs. DM @bsu_ydsa on Instagram for more information.
