The Indian Creek Drawings at Gordy's in February
Alan Patrick: The Indian Creek Drawings
Alan Patrick will be the featured artist at Gordy Fine Art & Framing during the month of February. An avid conservationist, Patrick will donate a percentage of proceeds from sales to the Red-tail Conservancy. The local organization protects parcels of land from development, maintaining habitat and beautiful spaces for the future.
Titled, "The Indian Creek Drawings," the works showcase an important conservation easement in Madison County. "I go on work days and hikes with the Red-tail staff and volunteers. On these hikes I shoot photos from which I work in my studio." Formerly a potter, well-known for his Bethel Pike studio, Alan now focuses solely on painting and drawing. The suite of drawings for this exhibit is done in charcoal, adding a dramatic energy to the scenes of woods, creek beds and bluffs. "My purpose is to help preserve our last great places. As a landscape painter I am always in need of subject matter," explains Patrick. "Hopefully the sale of these works will help conserve more of our best open spaces."
A reception for the artist will be held during the First Thursday art event, February 2nd, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery/frame shop. The public is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
The month-long exhibit may also be seen during normal business hours: Monday - Thursday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Friday, 9 to 7, and Saturday, 9 to 5.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing is located in the historic Boyce Block at 224 East Main Street, next door to Civic Theatre. For more information, call (765) 284-8422.

News from Downtown Muncie 11/24/2005
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM DOWNTOWN BUSINESS COUNCIL:
The Executive Committee of the Muncie Downtown Business Council is encouraging downtown businesses to jump into the massive lighting activities by outlining all first and second floor windows of their shops/offices with white lights.
Remember that Dec. 1st at 5 pm kicks off our holiday, with First Thursday at all the galleries to coincide with the lighting display (at 6 pm.)
We also encourage retailers to please extend their Friday night hours until Christmas to 8 pm. If we want to compete for shoppers, we can't invite them down to see the lights on closed shops! Consider advertising that you're extending these hours, and put a sign up on your door or window. Encourage your neighbors to participate, and encourage your friends to shop downtown this season!
Thank you all for each effort; they all add up to a healthy and vital downtown!
holiday cheers,
genny gordy, chair

Late Nite Family Nite at The Artist Within
the Artist Within is featuring "Late Nite Family Nite" Friday Nov. 25 from 9-11 pm. A flat $5 studio fee makes painting gifts for the holiday a bargain. We are also encouraging those coming to support the Ball State Dietetic Association's "Poverty Christmas Aid" program. Bring a new toy and we'll waive your studio fee! BSU students are going on a mission trip to Carreta, West Virginia...one our countries poorest communities. They are also accepting
"gently used" clothes that can be dropped off at our studio. The group will help with home repairs and provide Christmas toys for the children. The Dietetics Association has already painted and sold over 200 coffee mugs for this project!
A complete calendar for November at the Artist Within is posted on our website:theartistwithininc.com
