This summer, the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art is celebrating a decade of creativity and rhythm with Merrimans’ Playhouse—and you’re invited! Enjoy amazing live performances, special experiences, and fantastic food and drinks all season long. Bring a blanket or lawn chair (limited seating will be available on the Terrace), relax under the sun, and let the music move you in this one-of-a-kind setting. Ivan’s Cafe will have tasty food and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Oh Mamma’s will be selling scrumptious small plates perfect for snacking, and Perry Vine will be pouring delicious meads and wines for purchase by the glass or bottle. This month, we’re celebrating college spirit with jazzed-up takes on iconic fight songs, brought to life by bandleaders Sam Butler and Garrett Fasig of Visions Jazz Ensemble. Since its founding in 2023, the Visions Jazz Ensemble has been dedicated to delivering fresh, modern interpretations of both original compositions and timeless jazz standards. Their debut release, Across The Field (Patois Records), garnered critical acclaim for its inventive jazz arrangements of college fight songs—including Notre Dame’s. Butler, Fasig and members of the band–Nick Recktenwald (trumpet), Jeff Parker (trombone), Dan Ventura (piano), Alex Hoberty (bass), and Francis Bassett-Dilley (drums)–push the envelope with every performance, blending creativity, artistry, and positivity in their music. Museum galleries will be open so you can explore the work of art paired with the performance. Series curated by Stephen and Mary Merriman of Merrimans’ Playhouse. Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated lot. If traveling via South Bend Transpo, take the No.7 bus and use the stop for Eddy St. Commons (at the intersection of Angela & Eddy St).   Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.

The exhibit explores themes of Nazi racial ideology, the Holocaust, children in war, resistance, liberation, and memories of war. By examining images created for personal use and for state-sponsored propaganda, the exhibit presents a visual narrative of the war’s profound impact on individuals and societies, offering deeper insight into how this war was experienced and remembered. This exhibit is curated by Natasha Lyandres, Curator, Rare Books & Special Collections; Jean McManus, Catholic Studies Librarian, University Archives; and Julia Schneider, German Language and Literature and Italian Studies Librarian, Hesburgh Libraries. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.
