    Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. 
    224 E. Main
    Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company to present an exhibition of Kevin Campbell’s Puzzle Project, Thursday February 5, 5 – 8 pm.   

    Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company will open Kevin Campbell: The Puzzle Project, Thursday February 5, 5 – 8 pm, featuring groupings of puzzle pieces that the artist cuts from plywood and paints individually.  Each grouping has a place in a much larger puzzle that could be assembled if all the pieces were brought together.  The Puzzle Project is a work of art that has no edge and so it can be added onto and ‘grow’ indefinitely.  The exhibit will be anchored by a composite image showing what the entire puzzle would look like if it were fully assembled.  Throughout the evening, Campbell will be on hand to engage with viewers and answer questions. Light refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend. 

    At 6:15 Campbell will speak about the project and how it has evolved since he began in 1994.

    All of the puzzle groupings are expressions of the interconnectedness of the natural world.  Each individual piece is “inherently part of something larger than itself,” says Campbell, speaking about the idea that has driven his art for decades.  “As it grows, pieces and groups of pieces are separated and treated as individual works of art.”  These groups will be hung and for sale in the Gordy gallery.  Those who own a piece of the Puzzle Project will forever have a place in the larger composition. 

    “Works of art are often referred to as ‘pieces of art,’” says Gordy owner Carl Schafer.  “For Kevin Campbell this is literally true.  He is making only one work of art that has many pieces. Campbell has placed no boundaries on his single work of art.  It can continue forever and each piece will always have its place.” 

    The exhibit will be on view with works for sale in the gallery through March 28, 2026. 

    Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists, provides appraisals, enlarges and digitally restores photographs restores antique frames, and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art. Business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5:30 pm, Saturday, 10 am – 3 pm. Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company is located at 224 East Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre.  For more information, visit www.gordyframing.com or call 765-284-8422

    Muncie Artists Guild
    Various locations
    Mazelle Rollins is the Muncie Artists Guild’s Artist of the Month for March 2026.

    Artist Statement – Mazelle Rollins
    My work begins with a simple question: what remains when everything else falls away?

    Through oil, watercolor, and mixed media, I build layered textures and organic forms that reflect memory, resilience, and lived experience. 

    Long before I fully believed in myself, others-including my mother- named me an artist, and that faith still moves through my work. After graduating from Ball State University and spending more than seventeen years in graphic design, I bring both practiced skill and intuitive listening to each piece. I invite viewers to slow down, look closer, and discover what their own heart recognizes.

    Mazelle's work will be on display at the following locations: Rosebud Coffee House, The Patterson Building, Old National Bank, Haul N’ Oats

    Urban Stitch Studio | First Thursday Artswalk, April 2nd
    This First Thursday, Urban Stitch Studio is taking over downtown Muncie, activating alleys, façades, and open lots across four cardinal zones to showcase art, design, and community creativity from Ball State students and local Muncie artists alike.

    The South Group is transforming the alleyway near DeFur Voran into an outdoor gallery, featuring a curated mix of student and local artwork alongside updated renderings of their alleyway intervention designs, including an elevated platform and perforated metal panel installations envisioned to make the alley a vibrant, connective urban space.

    The North Group is previewing an exciting façade concept for the south side of Washington Square, a painted mural paired with a lightweight steel grid and layered circular discs designed to create a shifting pointillist effect as light and seasons change. Climbing roses will eventually weave through the structure, adding a living layer to the work. A full-scale mockup will be on display, and the team is eager to gather feedback from the community on this early-stage concept.

    To the East and West, the energy spills into the open lots across from Dave's Alley and beside Carnegie Library, where live music and an open mic will keep the night alive. Come perform, come listen, come soak it in.

    There will also be a main art gallery located at 306 S Walnut st. We will be featuring Muncie Central's AP Art Class's portfolios as apart of our exhibition along with many other artists.

    This is art in the wild. Come explore, engage, and help shape the future of downtown Muncie.

    Record Parlor of Muncie
    125 E. Charles St., Suite 110
    Starting in April, the Record Parlor of Muncie is starting a new initiative to create a Community Collage Album! In addition to enjoying our gallery of local art, visitors will have the opportunity to record some music (regardless of talent). We will have a small studio space set up with microphones, guitars, and a couple small percussion instruments. Visitors can also feel free to bring their own instrument to play. Anyone who wants to is welcome to record something (even if it's just hand claps). All of the sounds will then be mixed and mastered into a song. At the end of the year, we will have a full album of songs created by the community to share. The recording station will be set up from 6-8 so come contribute to the Community Collage!
