Philanthropy at work, here at home
Impacting the Muncie Community, and Beyond!
Philanthropy plays a vital role in strengthening both the arts and the Muncie community. Through generous support, we are able to provide scholarships, host exhibitions, and create opportunities that nurture emerging and established artists alike. Investing in the arts enriches our cultural landscape, inspires creativity, and ensures that artistic expression continues to thrive for generations to come.
The Muncie Artists Guild gives back to the community whenever possible, supporting local nonprofit organizations such as the Muncie Soup Kitchen.

Ball State Beneficence Mural
June 14, 2019
It is the pleasure of Muncie Artists Guild to present this mural of Beneficence to Ball State honoring the University’s 100th year Anniversary. The mural dimensions are 9’x6′ and is comprised of 24 panels painted by 18 artists each with their own unique style and interpretation of the subject matter.
Sadly, one of our oldest and dearest members, who also painted a panel, passed away on Sunday, June 9th at the age of 91. We would like to dedicate this mural in memory of our dear friend, Sylvia LaRue. She was loved by all for her kindness, sense of humor, artistry, sass and was a true delight to know.
In honor of Ball State University and in memory of Sylvia LaRue and to the people of our community, we offer this mural as a token of our appreciation and thankfulness.
