ArtsWalk at Cornerstone

October First Thursday ArtsWalk in Downtown Muncie is the city’s largest celebration of arts and culture of the year. In celebration of ArtsWalk, Cornerstone Center of the Arts will have multiple events going on throughout the evening.  

The Cornerstone Art Gallery will showcase the unique paintings of visual arts instructor, Patricia Kreigh, in a gallery opening titled “Splang.” Kreigh, a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan's arts education program, has dedicated years of her career to sharing her love for the arts with Cornerstone's youth and adult students. Her gallery show, titled "Splang" which is Scottish for sparkle, will open on First Thursday, October 6 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cornerstone Art Gallery. Kreigh says that "some people are put on this Earth to move mountains, others to lead nations, I'm here to add a little sparkle." The show will continue to be on display throughout the month of October.

If you’re looking for a way to entertain the kids while out and about for ArtsWalk, stop by Cornerstone Park located at the corner of Main and Madison. The park will be home to the PrimeTrust Federal Credit Union & Cornerstone Center for the Arts Kid’s Zone. From 5 to 8 p.m. the Kid’s Zone will provide free arts and crafts, balloon making, and face painting.

Lastly, Cornerstone will be the venue for the Muncie Three Trails Music Series’ presentation of John Scofield live in concert. This free concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the E.B. Ball Auditorium. Scofield is a Grammy award winning jazz guitarist and is considered one of the “Big Three” jazz guitarists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Seating is limited and early arrival is recommended.
