Birth of the Bab
October 20
Culture/Religion: Baha’i
One of the eleven holy days on the Baha’i calendar, this day marks the Birth of Bab ud-din (Mirza Ali Muhammad), who declared himself the Prophet of God. Born in 1819 in Shiraz, Iran, his mission was to reform Islam, and his teachings became the foreground for the later developed Baha’i tradition. Baha’is celebrate this day with gatherings to pray, eat together, and read about his life. Work is suspended on this day.
Ashura
October 22-23
Ashura is an Islamic holy day observed on the 10th of the Islamic month of Muharram. Shi’ite Muslims regard it as a major holiday, marking the martyrdom of the Prophet’s grandson, Hussein, at the Battle of Karbala. Ashura is observed in various ways throughout the world. Processions are often held, and reenactments of the Battle of Karbala are often staged. This is a solemn day for Shi’ite Muslims, who commemorate Hussein with prayers and verse.
Islamic holiday observances begin at sunset of the first date listed and end at sunset of the last.
Dassera

Muharram
October 20
Culture/Religion: Islamic
This begins the first day of Muharram of the new year 1432 based on the Islamic lunar calendar. The Islamic lunar calendar dates from the Hijrah, the emigration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in A.D. 622. Years in the Islamic lunar calendar are called Hijrah years and are designated as anno Hegirae (Latin for “in the year of the Hijrah”), abbreviated “A.H.” Since Islamic holidays are based on the lunar calendar, a holiday may occur twice in the same Gregorian year.
Islamic holiday observances begin at sunset of the first date listed and end at sunset of the last.

Each year, American observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15-October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988 on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively. Also Columbus Day or Dia de la Raza, which is October 12, falls withing this 30 day period.

Italian American Heritage Month
October
Every year the U.S. president signs an executive order designating the month of October as National Italian American Heritage Month. Coinciding with the festivities surrounding Columbus Day, the proclamation is recognition of the many achievements, contributions, and successes of Americans of Italian descent as well as Italians in America.
Over 5.4 million Italians immigrated to the United States between 1820 and 1992. Today there are over 26 million Americans of Italian descent in the United States, making them the fifth largest ethnic group. The country was even named after an Italian, the explorer and geographer Amerigo Vespucci.
LGBT History Month
October
LGBT History Month is a month-long annual observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements. It is observed during October in the United States, to include National Coming Out Day on October 11. LGBT History Month originated in the United States and was first celebrated in 1994. It was founded by Missouri high school history teacher Rodney Wilson. Spectrum, MSU’s LGBT and Ally Alliance, along with the Office of Multicultural Programs provide a month-long series of events on campus to commemorate LGBT History Month. These include dances, panels, film screenings, fundraisers, discussions, art displays, and an annual talent show.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October
In 1988, Congress designated each October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The Office of Disability Employment Policy has the lead in planning NDEAM activities and materials to increase the public’s awareness of the contributions and skills of American workers with disabilities. Various programs carried out throughout the month also highlight the specific employment barriers that still need to be addressed and removed. This effort to educate the American public about issues related to disability and employment actually began in 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities.

Professor Gwen Walstrand and Professor Jerry Hatch traveled with thirteen MSU students to Florence, Italy where they resided for five weeks in order to study photography and drawing in this Renaissance town. The resulting photographs, drawings and presentations have been exhibited in Florence at the Santa Reparata International School of Art and will be on display in the Meyer Library from October 9th through November 6th.
Professor Steve Willis traveled with 8 students to study the Art of the Native American Southwest. While living on the Acoma Reservation students worked with local artists to learn about making traditional Acoma pottery. After living at Acoma, the students then traveled to Arizona to hike Canyon de Chelly to visit the historically important White House Ruins. While in New Mexico students hiked El Moro, Bandolier and Ghost Ranch to make en plein air images. Students will exhibit journal pages, photographs, drawings and paintings.

Guest Scholar Lynne Conner presents “Please Don’t Turn Off Your Cell Phone: The Changing Culture of 21st-century Arts Auidences
October 19, Craig Hall Coger Theatre
Dr. Lynne Conner will talk about the changing landscape in audience engagement in the arts. The lecture will be followed by a reception in the Craig Hall lobby.
Conner asks the question: “Why don’t Americans talk about the serious arts? We talk about everything else that we enjoy, from food and wine to sports, television, games and books. Why aren’t audiences similarly engaged around theater, dance, opera, concert music and exhibition art?”
In “Please Don’t Turn Off Your Cell Phone: The Changing Culture of 21st-century Arts Audiences,” Conner will address that question by looking for clues in the active nature of the historical audience as well as in various contemporary participatory cultures (from television to popular music to social reading and citizen science). Citing material from her new book, Audience Engagement and the Role of Arts Talk in the Digital Era (Palgrave Macmillan), she will argue that audience pleasure is deeply tied up with the opportunity to interpret the meaning and value of the arts, and that this pleasure is enhanced significantly when that interpretation happens in a public, social way. Her theory of Arts Talk models a new paradigm for arts appreciation centered on audience-powered conversations (both live and digital) about the arts.
Conner is regularly invited to speak and present at international arts conferences and to consult with major arts organizations. She holds a Ph.D. in Theatre History and Performance Studies and is Professor of Theater and Dance at Colby College in Maine, where she directs plays and teaches playwriting, performance history, and art for social justice courses. Her blog, “We the Audience,” is featured on ArtsJournal.com, the most widely read arts industry on-line journal in the U.S.
Lynne Conner is a cultural historian, playwright/director and Professor in the Theater and Dance Department at Colby College. Her current research interests are focused on studying the history and contemporary status of audience behavior. Related publications include Audience Engagement and the Role of Arts Talk in the Digital Era (Palgrave Macmillan) and a widely cited chapter (“In and Out of the Dark: A Theory of Audience Engagement from Sophocles to Spoken Word”) in Engaging Art: The Next Great Transformation of America’s Cultural Life, co-edited by Steven Tepper and Bill Ivey (Routledge). She currently writes a featured blog called “We the Audience” for ArtsJournal.com, the most widely read arts industry journal with over 30,000 subscribers. Conner has given scores of talks on topics in the cultural policy field, including keynotes, lectures and workshops at (among others) the Institute of the Americas /University of Toulouse, University of Chicago Cultural Policy Center, Salzburg Global Seminar, Toronto Creative Trust, National Performing Arts Convention, Wallace Foundation, International Society of Performing Arts Presenters, Boston Foundation/Massachusetts Cultural Council, Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, Grantmakers in the Arts, Dance USA, and the American Symphony Orchestra League. Other books include Pittsburgh in Stages: Two Hundred Years of Theater and Spreading the Gospel of the Modern Dance: Newspaper Dance Criticism in the United States, 1850-1935. Conner’s plays and adaptations have been produced in theaters across the United States: Main Street Theatre (Houston), Theatre-Hikes (Chicago), the Actors’ Guild of Lexington (Kentucky), Quantum Theatre (Pittsburgh), Gemini Theatre (Pittsburgh), Prime Stage (Pittsburgh), Carnegie Mellon University, Smith College, William and Mary College, Loyola Marymount, Slippery Rock University, Point Park University and the University of Pittsburgh Repertory Theatre (among others). Her play about Rachel Carson, In the Garden of Live Flowers (co-written with Attilio Favorini), won the 2002 Kennedy Center David Mark Cohen National Playwriting Award and an honorable mention prize in the 2002 Jane Chambers Playwriting Award contest and is published by Dramatic Publishing Company.
