========================
Battle Trance – Genre-defying saxophone quartet comprised of Travis Laplante, Matthew Nelson, Jeremy Viner, and Patrick Breiner. The group released their critically acclaimed debut album, Palace of Wind, on New Amsterdam Records and NNA Tapes in 2014 and will be releasing their follow-up, Blade of Love, in August. Performing the music of Laplante, the quartet crosses boundaries and exists loosely within realms of contemporary classical music, avant-garde jazz, black metal, ambient and world music, and challenges conventions of the saxophone as an ensemble instrument. Popmatters described Battle Trance as making “music that soars, glides, and dives to realms that few musicians have dreamt about, let alone touched… wonderful insanity through musical kinship.”

Tyler Damon – a solo set of arms and set of legs rustling up a cloud of sound like the untamed cyclones of the midwest. New recordings out on Family Vineyard, Magnetic South, Astral Spirits, and Tape Drift to name just a few.

Early Life is a rock/unrock quartet centered around guitars and keyboards. While they may not be very active online, they’ve occupied the dark corners of southern Indiana for several years, gathering a thick mold like a fine cheese.

Sylvia and Friends Sing for Shalom! Two-time Grammy Award winner Sylvia McNair will be joined by soloists from the Jacobs School of Music to present another fabulous musical program called ‘Love Stories’. Sylvia has left an indelible audio trail with over 70 recordings that range from Mozart arias to the music of Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen with pianist Andre Previn. A new CD will be available at the concert.

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day and in solidarity with the anti-colonial struggles happening against the Dakota Access Pipeline, we will be showing Dakota 38, a film about the largest mass execution hanging in US history to be carried out by the US government. We hope you can join us for food, the film, and important conversations about (de)colonization following the screening.

Pictura Gallery presents Becoming, portraits by Rania Matar of girls and women from Lebanon and the United States. Matar was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1984. Although originally an architect, she became a photographer after 9-11 because she wanted to tell a different story of the Middle East.

Pictura’s exhibit will showcase multiple bodies of work by Matar, each centered on the universality of being a girl and growing up. Her work is a collaborative dialogue that explores the complexity of female maker to female subject, and of womanhood on each side of the camera.

Rania Matar was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1984. Originally trained as an architect
at the American University of Beirut and at Cornell University, she studied photography at the New England
School of Photography and the Maine Photographic Workshops. Matar started teaching photography in 2009
and offered summer photography workshops to teenage girls in Lebanon’s refugee camps with the assistance
of non-governmental organizations. She now teaches Personal Documentary Photography at the
Massachusetts College of Art and Design and regularly offers talks, class visits and lectures at museums,
galleries, schools and colleges in the US and abroad. In the winter/spring of 2017, she will be an artist-inresidence/
visiting artist at Kenyon College.
Matar’s work focuses on girls and women. She documents her life through the lives of those around her,
focusing on the personal and the mundane in an attempt to portray the universal within the personal. Her work
has won several awards, has been featured in numerous publications, and exhibited widely in the U.S. and
internationally. Her images are in the permanent collections of several museums worldwide.

This event engages our IU campus and local community by providing ways to both talk about and understand systems of racial oppression. Embodied Conversations on Racism is a dance performance mediated by context and conversation to address how we are relating to our country’s current racial climate.
The performance critically engages our campus community in thinking about systems of oppression in relation to the current racial climate in our country. The performers and facilitators of the event ask how these systems of oppression impact our lives; first through dance performance, and secondly through a mediated community dialogue.
Campus organizations dedicated to social justice and service will be present to share information and ways to continue the dialogue and take purposeful action.
This dance event is a collaboration between Dr. Nyama McCarthy-Brown and Selene Carter, Assistant Professors in Contemporary Dance in the IU Department of Theater, Drama & Contemporary Dance. Associate Professor in the IU School of Education, Dr. Stephanie Power-Carter, is dramaturg and facilitator of the conversation. The performance features members of the IU Contemporary Dance Theater and other guests.
Sponsored by: A New Frontiers Experimentation Grant provided by The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR), The Office of the Vice President for Diversity Equity and Multicultural Affairs (DEMA), the School of Education, and the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance.

PARK(ing) Day is an international event held annually on the third Friday in September.

Howl at the Moon is an anual art and music festival on the Milwaukee Trail in Bedford, Indiana. Each year HAM raises money for specific projects on the trail.

With the support of the community and local artist we were able to raise enough funds for both a connector trail to Wilson Park and bicylces for the police department. This year we would like to fund another connector trail.

What many of them don’t know is that with each purchase of a pumpkin, they are supporting arts education. With the funds from the Patch the Bloomington Creative Glass Center (BCGC) will bring a fully-equipped hot glass arts education center to Bloomington, proposed to open in summer of 2017.

This year’s Patch will feature over nine hundred hand blown glass pumpkins made by community volunteers. Over 40 local artists and non-artists have participated in blowing the pumpkins. Like at a real pumpkin patch, glass pumpkins will be out in the lawn for people to “pick” their own.

Park admission is $7 per in-state vehicle and $9 per out-of-state vehicle.
