• Westminster Concert Series: Pianist Gloria Griner 2pm @ Westminster Village 5801 West Bethel Avenue

  Mrs. Gloria Griner, retired professor of piano, music education and piano for conductors at Ball State University, will be performing for the Muncie Symphony Orchestra as part of the Westminster Concert Series.

  Mrs. Griner, a local pianist, is known for her long time dedication to the arts within the Ball State Community.  A founding board member of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Gloria has dedicated both her time and talents to the symphony.  Mrs. Griner is also an active member at the Ball State University Museum of Art as a sustaining member and past president of the Ball State University Art Alliance.  Both Gloria and her husband Ned have been long time supporters of the museum.   Mrs. Griner has also developed a significant part of the community engagement on behalf of the Museum of Art, as a former member of the Art Museum’s Benefactors Society.  Mrs. Griner will perform works by Debussy, as well as a host of the worlds most beautiful classical pieces.  The concert will be a unique and beautiful experience, as Mrs. Griner shares a portion of her vast background from a spectrum of visual and musical artistry.

• Downside UP: How art can change the spirit of a place 2:30pm @ David Owsley Museum of Art

  Reel Time
  Downside UP: How art can change the spirit of a place
  With 80 percent of its downtown buildings closed, North Adams, Massachusetts, united blue-collar locals with art world luminaries to transform economic failure into America's largest center for contemporary art, MASS MoCA. A film by North Adams native Nancy Kelly, Downside UP, is about the tentative, dangerous notion of hope in a city widely viewed as hopeless. (2002, 56 minutes)
  In partnership with the Muncie Arts and Culture Council.
  Brown Study Room
  *This is a David Owsley Museum of Art Frequent Visitor Card Event

• Trivia Brawl 9pm @ Doc's Music Hall 215 S. Walnut

  Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on food, drinks, tickets, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death)™, the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.
