Sixty professional artists who make something special from almost nothing will participate in the fourteenth annual Déjà Vu Art and Fine Craft Show at The Commons in downtown Columbus, Indiana. The show has become a premier event in southern Indiana, drawing artists from across the Midwest. Admission to the event held in celebration of America Recycles Day is free.

All items in the juried show must be made wholly or in part from scrap or repurposed materials, and show attendees learn that new beauty can be found in worn leather jackets, broken dishes, mismatched silverware, old sweaters, factory waste and hundreds of other things. The range of creative work represented includes assemblages, glass, jewelry, sculpture, wearable art, weaving, woodworking and some creations which each year defy classification.

Discover Owen County’s newest fine arts establishment!

The Fall/Winter exhibit is on display now through February 2019 and features the artwork of 20 of the region’s finest and most sought-after artists. Juniper also offers hand-crafted items including ceramics, jewelry, homeware, apparel and a selection of fair-trade international gifts.

Stop Worrying, Start Living!
Saturday, November 10, 11am-12pm
With Kelsang Namdrol, Resident Teacher and Buddhist nun
Monroe County Public Library

There are many uncertainties in this life and we typically respond to them with worry. Our mind becomes tight and uncomfortable and it can become difficult to think clearly or to enjoy anything. In this free public talk, Kelsang Namdrol will clearly explain how meditation and mindfulness training can help us to let go of worry. Through these practical and effective methods, it’s truly possible to break free from this disturbing mental bad habit! By focusing instead on what is of real importance in our lives, we can begin to live a more joyful and meaningful life.
The morning talk will also include a guided breathing meditation.
Everyone is welcome!

The African American Arts Institute, Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, and the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs is proud to present the 25th annual Potpourri of the Arts. Since 1993, the Potpourri is IU’s greatest celebration of African American performance with its three ensembles: the African American Dance Company, the African American Choral Ensemble, and the IU Soul Revue.

With a wide range of music and choreography, these unique ensembles are sure to exhilarate audiences with their individual and combined performances. The African American Dance Company will share a broad range of movement and dance traditions from America and the African Diaspora, including African, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, and other cultural forms. Then, hear the best of African American spirituals, gospel, and formally-composed works with the African American Choral Ensemble. To complete the line-up, IU Soul Revue will perform dynamic Black popular music—including R&B, soul, funk, and contemporary music styles.

To top off the evening, all three ensembles will grace the stage together in a collaborative finale piece. Don’t miss this incredible and celebratory event.

Under the baton of music director Gerald Sousa, the group’s 49th season opens on Saturday, November 10 at 7:30 pm with an evening of a cappella music in the pure, ethereal style of the High Renaissance. “Music from the Sistine Chapel” presents works composed for the late sixteenth-century Papal Court, featuring Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli, the composer’s most well-known mass. Also on the program will be large-scale motets, including Allegri’s famed Miserere and Lotti’s Crucifixus. The concert will take place in the resonant sanctuary at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 100 State Road 46, Bloomington, IN.

Although many people often feel they’re unfamiliar with sacred Renaissance music, its beautiful tonality, powerful reverence, and interesting textures move listeners of all backgrounds. The Chamber Singers’ focus on authentic performance practice and passionate connections with the music shine through every performance. As an auditioned group of about 40 singers, the choir demonstrates a commitment to attaining the highest standards of choral music.
