A local restaurant, retail store and gourmet sweets shop invites the public to explore its new events venue with a photographic art exhibit.

Batar, 12649 U.S. 50 East, Seymour, now has an indoor/outdoor venue named Muscatatuck Hall. The name was selected because of the floor-to-ceiling views of the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge in Batar’s back yard.

Muscatatuck Hall seats 60 and is available for weddings, parties, memorial services and business or club meetings. The 1,100-square-foot space, including a porch and gardens, now is available for rent.

The photographic exhibit and sale by local photographer Tracy Price will be from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday at Muscatatuck Hall. The exhibit, which is open to the public, is titled “Nature: Bigger Than Life” and features oversized prints of wildlife and flora photographed at the refuge in extreme close-up.

Price lives in Seymour and works as a counselor, life coach and workshop presenter and has been a freelance photographer for 20 years. She has been published in Indiana Outdoor Magazine multiple times and is a two-time winner of the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge photography contest.
