Getting butterflies in New Albany

Folks, for more evidence on how cool Southern Indiana is, may we present you with this weekend’s Monarch Celebration and Beyond Borders Exhibit at the Arts Council of Southern Indiana.

It’s bound to give you butterflies.

Sorry.

Seriously though, how groovy is a celebration — Jason Thomas, Editor complete with food, vendors, performances and the release of 250 butterflies — with the monarch butterfly as the main attraction? In Daniel Suddeath’s cover story you’ll learn how the Arts Council is recognized as an official “way station” for the migration of monarchs.

The distinction, Suddeath writes, means there are food resources available, specifically a garden, at the Arts Council for the butterflies as they migrate.

Who knew New Albany was a top fueling station for monarchs as they trek south?

That’s SoIn. And a lot of wing-flapping.

Also inside, be sure to check out the city of Jeffersonville’s newly formed public arts initiative, City Canvas, and its project to beautify a berm on 10th Street. Residents can vote for their favorite out of three designs narrowed down by City Canvas.

The Monarch Celebration also has an art element, as it is staged in conjunction with the “Beyond Borders” exhibit at the Pat Harrison gallery. The exhibit includes a wide range of works from local school children up to professional artists displaying paintings, photographs and various other 2-D and 3-D works.

While art is the prominent attraction, the focus Saturday will be on the monarch butterfly — and the environment.

That should be enough to make our hearts aflutter.

Monarch Festival h

BY DANIEL SUDDEATH daniel.suddeath@news andtribune.com earching for milkweed and warmer weather, monarch butterflies spread their orange and black wings and migrate around the country to connect with food sources and a suitable climate.

Thanks in part to the efforts of local artists and environmentalists, you can mark New Albany down as a stop along that route.

The fourth annual Monarch Celebration and Beyond Borders Exhibit will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Arts Council of Southern Indiana, 820 E. Market St., New Albany.

The celebration will include live music, booths with local vendors and organizations, and tours of the Arts Council and the “Beyond Borders” exhibit, which features works from area artists depicting monarch butterflies.

But the highlight of the festival, as has been the case since it launched, will be the release of 250 monarch butterflies.

The Arts Council partners with the Southern Indiana Botanical Society for the annual release.

For Arts Council Executive Director Julie Schweitzer, it’s a natural partnership. Artists are commonly inspired by nature, and thus are drawn to preserving and celebrating it.

“We need to be very mindful and aware of the environment — the way we treat the environment and other living things,” she said.

With climate change and habitat destruction threatening monarch butterfly populations, the Arts Council has taken steps to protect the winged creatures.

Not only are they celebrated through the release and the art exhibit — which includes a wide range of works from local school children up to professional artists — but the organization seeks to educate people throughout the year about butterflies and what they mean to the environment.

MIGRATIon oF THE MonARCH

g

In all the world, no butterflies migrate like the monarchs of north America. They travel much farther than all other tropical butterflies, up to 3,000 miles. They are the only butterflies to make such a long, two way migration every year.

Monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains fly farther south to the forests high in the mountains of Mexico. The monarch’s migration is driven by seasonal changes. Daylength and temperature changes influence the movement of the monarch.

Amazingly, they fly in masses to the same winter roosts, often to the exact same trees. Their migration is more the type we expect from birds or whales. However, unlike birds and whales, individuals only make the round-trip once. It is their children’s grandchildren that return south the following fall. some other species of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) travel long distances, but they generally go in one direction only, often following food.

This one-way movement is properly called emigration. In tropical lands, butterflies do migrate back and forth as the seasons change. At the beginning of the dry season, the food plants shrivel and the butterflies leave to find a moister climate. when the rains arrive, the food plants grow back and the butterflies return.

Salvage the Remains Band members: Andrea Mohler (Floyds Knobs), vocals; Nick Mohler (Floyds Knobs), guitar; Stevie Pierce (Lanesville), bass; Joe Pierce (Lanesville), drums How did the band form, and what is the meaning behind the name? We are two families that share the same appreciation for music. Our name comes from how our band was established. All members of our band are, or were, in other local bands at the time of its foundation. So in essence we “Salvaged the Remains” of other bands.

Please describe your sound/inspiration: We draw our inspirations from many artists, both modern and classic. We try for a hard rock sound with a touch of pop-punk. Our sound is primarily influenced by the works of Avenged Sevenfold, A Day to Remember, Fall Out Boy and Black Sabbath.

What are your goals? Our primary goal is to provide new music to Southern Indiana. This area provides significant potential to local performing artists and we strive to make our mark in the music scene.

What do you think of the Southern Indiana music scene? “The Southern Indiana music scene is truly incredible. There are so many types of musicians and styles of music in the local area and it makes being a part of it an amazing experience” — Andrea

“Southern Indiana is known for many things, but music isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind. Southern Indiana has a great music scene, loaded with talent in all genres. There truly is something here for everyone.” — Nick “The Southern Indiana music scene is amazingly diverse. As a musician that loves and respects many types of music, I absolutely love the combination of indie, folk, blues, country and rock that this part of Indiana has to offer.” — Stevie
