Muncie, Indiana – YART is Coming! 

YART is a Yard Sale for Art! YART began in Muncie, Indiana with students at Ball State University and continues here and in several U.S. cities - a Muncie original! The Muncie YART is now held Downtown, at Canan Commons, twice a year, Spring and Fall, and coincides with ArtsWalk. The Spring 2022 Muncie YART is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, June 2nd!

This community art sale, with a goal of making art affordable and accessible to everyone, brings together Artists and Art patrons in a casual and unique setting. The Spring 2022 Muncie YART will be held in conjunction with the 2022 Brink of Summer ArtsWalk on Thursday, June 2nd, from 5-8p. You can find YART and LIVE music performances at Canan Commons, Muncie's great urban greenspace park and amphitheater by the roundabout on South Walnut Street in Downtown Muncie, Indiana. 

All forms of Art are welcome at YART! Art of all kinds, by all kinds of Artists! YART encourages pandemic-safe interaction between Artists and the community, hoping to make Art more accessible, especially to those who think they cannot afford to buy Art for themselves and their homes. To this goal, all YART Art will be priced below $40! YART works to enable local creative entrepreneurs and to improve the Muncie economy. Shop local, support independents, enjoy your town! 

The last YART featured over 100 Artists! Each YART Artist will be present throughout YART to meet the public, discuss their Art, handle sales personally, and some Artists will be making Art LIVE at YART! This is a great opportunity to enjoy your family interacting with local culture in a dynamic, lively, and relaxed atmosphere. 

The Spring 2022 Muncie YART will feature a wide variety of handmade jewelry, photography, clothing, oil/acrylic/watercolor paintings, fused glass, ceramics, knits, pottery, candles, toys, drawings, sculpture, lampwork glass, stuffed animals, digital art, mosaics, LIVE ART and LIVE MUSIC, and so much more!

Outdoor fun for all ages - YART and ArtsWalk are for the whole family!

Miss Moth (YART Director) and the YART Artists very much thank Cheryl Crowder of the Muncie Downtown Development Partnership and the City of Muncie for their generous support! YART is an all-volunteer, zero-budget, community event. THANK YOU!

2025 White River Cleanup Registration

Annual White River Cleanup - September 24th

Roll up your sleeves (and pants!) - Our river needs YOU!

The White River is calling, and it's time for our biggest cleanup of the year! But let's be honest about what we're asking: this isn't your typical "stay clean and dry" volunteer gig. To really make a difference for our river, we need volunteers who are ready to get wet, muddy, and maybe a little smelly – all in the name of protecting our community's most prominent natural resource.

📅 Date: September 24th
⏰ Time: 8:00 am
📍 Location: Westside Park - You'll see us.

What We REALLY Need:

Volunteers who aren't afraid to:

• Wade into shallow water
• Get muddy boots (and maybe muddy everything else)
• Pull stubborn debris from riverbanks
• Work hard for a cause that matters

CREW LEADERS ESPECIALLY NEEDED!
Have you helped with a cleanup before? We need you to step up and lead a team! Our crew leader requirements are simple: past cleanup attendance + quick online training = you're qualified to make an impact. Leadership experience not required – just enthusiasm and reliability.

Why Your River Needs This:

Every year, debris flows into the White River, harming wildlife and degrading the waterway that's central to our community's identity. University students often join us (thank you!), but river cleanup is different from roadside cleanup – it requires volunteers who understand that protecting our environment sometimes means embracing the mess.

What We Provide:

• Work gloves
• Safety vests (hi-vis)
• Floatation vests for canoe crews
• Canoes!
• All cleanup supplies
• Safety briefing and guidance
• Post-cleanup refreshments
• The satisfaction of seeing immediate results

What You Provide:

• Willingness to get dirty for a great cause
• Old clothes you don't mind ruining
• A commitment to our community's environmental health

This cleanup is part of our year-round mission to beautify and protect our community's natural spaces. When you're pulling a tire from the riverbank or clearing debris from a fishing hole, you're not just cleaning – you're preserving the White River for future generations.

Ready to get muddy for a good cause? Sign up as a volunteer or crew leader – our river is counting on people who understand that the best environmental work happens when you're willing to literally dive in.
