This year's Miss Universe competition, held in Bangkok, was marred by a series of dramatic incidents, from a contestant's livestreamed walkout to a now former judge's allegations of rigging.

Don’t miss the final weekend of "Hiding in Plain Site," the debut solo exhibition from award-winning multidisciplinary emerging artist and designer Joseph A. Henseler. Join us for a live Artist Q&A as Joseph leads a timely, thought-provoking conversation on today’s most pressing creative topics: AI and the future of art, art as resistance and connection, why collecting art matters, and how we can stay human in an image-saturated world. Joseph, who graduated Ball State University with a degree in architecture, apprenticed in the studio of artist James Hubbell and has taught at NewSchool of Architecture, has transformed Union Hall into a space for curiosity, healing, and raw creative energy. With over 30 years of experience blending art, architecture, and activism, his Q&A promises an honest dialogue about what art can do, and why it still matters. The event is free and open to all. Come for the art. Stay for the conversation. Joseph A. Henseler on Facebook / Instagram
