It’s almost time for the Night Market! Join us for an evening of creative community fun, local shopping, craft brews, good eats, and a vote for human-made entertainment to be experienced in person! The Muncie Makers Market and MadJax Maker Force are in partnership every Third Thursday from 5-8p to bring us all together for an insider exploration – we know you’re curious!<\/p>\n

As MadJax puts it, “Third Thursday comes alive at MadJax with the Muncie Makers Market’s Night Market\u2014an indoor evening of local shopping, food and drinks, community connection, and creative exploration. Every Third Thursday, MadJax Maker Force and the Muncie Makers Market partner to transform the building into an indoor Night Market experience. To shape the experience each month, the Night Market is layered with a rotating hands-on creative activity, a new exhibition opening in the Toolsong Gallery, and a live music performance. No two nights look exactly the same, but each one offers an easy, welcoming way to explore, make, and connect.”<\/p>\n

MadJax is always open for tours during the Night Market and you can even get creative while you’re there! Got a project you\u2019ve been meaning to work on? Or just want to make something without committing to a full class? Drop-In Creative Corner is a relaxed Thursday evening hang where makers gather to craft, tinker, and create together. Bring whatever you\u2019re working on, ask questions if you need help, or just enjoy making alongside others. February fun at the Night Market\u00a0also\u00a0<\/span>includes gelli printing with resident MadJax Maker Laura Peabody, live music featuring Kd\u00f8g.26: \u201cThe Year of the Fire Horse\u201d, the opening night for MadJax’s brand new Toolsong Art Gallery with “Untied: On Process, Drift, and Letting Go” by Kevin R. Klinger, as well as the Local Growers and Makers of the Muncie Makers Market!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Come HUNGRY, ready to Sip-and-Shop, and to EXPLORE from 5-8p on Thursday the 19th at MadJax (corner of Madison & Jackson). Free parking – in lots and on the street – surrounds this giant building! Free admission! MadJax, named for their location at the corner of Madison and Jackson, is a former factory with an industrial vibe turned into a GIANT multi-business venue at 515 East Jackson Street. Like a cool mall with all independent businesses inside. Restaurants, bars, shops, maker spaces, and more! You can wander through it all, ask questions, take tours, enjoy the entertainment, shop, eat, drink, and hang out with your neighbors who support LOCAL. We know you’ll really enjoy our community farmers market with fresh homemade food, locally grown produce, live plants, and handmade arts of all kinds. We hope YOU choose to enjoy our high quality offerings and support our creative community every Third Thursday!<\/p>\n
