Columbus Commons, Martha MacLeish, Quarry Morris Dancers

This week, a visit to the new Commons building in Columbus, Indiana, the shape-shifting art of Martha MacLeish, and dancing in the Spring in Bloomington.

This week on Artworks:

Associate Director of the Columbus Area Visitors Center Cindy Frey takes Annie Corrigan on a tour of the newest jewel in the crown of the Columbus, Indiana architecture scene — the new Commons building.

Also on the program,

Shape Shift is the title of an exhibition of current works by Hope School of Fine Arts faculty member Martha MacLeish. In a conversation with WFIU’s Yaël Ksander, MacLeish, who started out as a painter, reveals why her artistic identity has been that of the shape-shifter.

And rain or shine, the Bloomington Quarry Morris Dancers keep a tradition from the Old Country alive in the New World.
