The Discover Art & Explore Groups will visit Muncie together to tour the Owsley Museum of Art, as well as the Minnetrista Exhibition and Gardens. In the morning, we will have a guided tour of the Owsley Museum located on the Ball State Campus, which houses the Ball Family private art collection and art collections from ancient China, India and Southeast Asia, donated by David Owsley. We will have lunch nearby and then head to Minnetrista, where we can visit their museum and exhibitions, tour the Oakhurst Experience and the Bob Ross Experience (famous local artist who hosted “The Joy of Painting” on PBS) and browse through their gardens. Information on cost (minimal), parking, lunch, carpooling, etc. will be provided later. The tour size is limited, and this will probably be a popular event, so please RSVP early. Priority will be for IWI members.
