The Muncie Artists Guild was started in 1953, mentored by Ball State’s Dr. Alice Nichols and held their first Annual Show at Ball Store’s Blue Room. The Guild recently completed a 24 panel mural entitled “Main Street, 1907”. Twenty different artists completed the mural which measures 6’ x 9’. It was gifted to the City of Muncie and hangs in City Hall. The Guild is open to artists and art patrons from Delaware County, plus the contiguous counties.
