July at The Artist Within

July at the Artist Within: Once again the Artist Within owner, Bob Hartley, features the artwork of a former Muncie Southside student. Chuck McNally will be the featured artist for July. After graduating from Muncie Southside High School, Chuck attended Ball State University.

While at BSU, he majored in Art with a graphic design concentration. He went to work in the field of advertising, but maintained a passion for drawing and painting. This exhibit will showcase his drawings and paintings. Currently residing in Brownsburg, Mr. McNally has been doing commissioned artwork for several members of the Indianapolis Colts and exhibits in the Indianapolis area.

The Artist Within hosts its first wedding. After their "first date" and several mission projects held here at our studio, Josh Clauser and Gretchen Herto have chosen our studio as the site for their wedding. We will be closed Saturday July 7, 2007 for the ceremony.
We wish this great young couple a lifetime of happiness and lots of painted pottery.
