60 Years of Indiana Artist Bette Graham's Print Making

Muncie native Bette Graham is known for her landscapes, and popular images of cats. For 60 years she has been active in the local arts community. Proficient in several art media, Graham's primary focus throughout her lengthy career has been printmaking--both wood block and linoleum.

In the month of May, Graham's work will be on display at Gallery 308 in Muncie. The opening reception for the exhibit is First Thursday, May 7, 5 to 8 p.m.

The exhibition is described as a "retrospective" which features pieces dating to the beginning of Graham's long and productive career as well as some newer works.

Known for her landscape prints, which often feature local homes and other structures from the area, as well as her images of cats (which have been very popular for many years), Graham has placed many award-winning pieces into the exhibit, pieces that have been featured in local and regional shows. Some of her works currently reside in museums and private collections around the country and the world.

The show will also examine her influence in the local community. She has been involved with many local arts organizations, freely donating her time and talent in support of emerging artists and contributing to the creative culture in Muncie. Her works are for sale and will be on display May 7th through May 29th at 308 East Main Street in downtown Muncie.
