The Waldron Arts Center is excited to present four new shows in the galleries for February and March. In the Miller Gallery, Soulaf Abas presents a collection of paintings in her show, Linger. The paintings featured range in medium from watercolors and pastels to oils. In each work, Abas focused on stilling herself until she became witness to her subjects, whether memories and observations or her own psychological terrain. The works aim to examine the ways in which grief can help us construct meaning and investigate loss in an emotional sense.

The Treasury and Vault Galleries will be filled with works from the show Local Phenomena by Emily Wilson Gillespie. Her colorful and playful landscapes feature a composite of Wilson Gillespie’s own memory, observation, and imagination of places she’s witnessed while living in the same 45-mile radius for most of her life. In each of these paintings, viewers will be given a moment of escape and encouragement to reflect on what places they find meaningful. ​

NAACP Founders Day
Date: Monday, February 12, 2024
Location: Banneker Community Center 
Time: 6p
Description: Did you know that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the oldest and boldest civil rights organization in the United States? Founded in 1909 by a group of interracial leaders, including W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett, and Mary White Ovington, the organization was established to address the challenges facing African Americans, particularly in the aftermath of the 1908 Springfield (Illinois) Race Riot and the escalating anti-Black violence and lynching. Today, we pay tribute to the persistent leaders who played a pivotal role in shaping NAACP's vision and mission on a national level. It's worth noting that a local chapter of the NAACP was formed in Monroe County in 1978, and the IU NAACP Chapter Branch was established in 1946 with its motto being "Educate, Embrace, and Empower." 

If you're interested in learning more about the national history of the NAACP as well as the local history of the NAACP Monroe County Branch #3062 and IU NAACP Chapter Branch #3735, we welcome you to join us and provide community input that will support our action plan as a branch.
