December First Thursday

Cornerstone will open a new art gallery titled, “Stop all the Clocks,” December 1 with artwork created by the late David Palm. This show explores the desires many of us have had when deep feelings are experienced or special moments occur. The best ways to preserve these moments can be through drawings and paintings like the ones by Palm.

The artwork displayed at this show features landscape, still-life and street life paintings and drawings with an impressionist style. This work was created over the span of Palm’s lifetime and provides a unique perspective on culture and time. Much of the featured artwork captures the natural, everyday life while some of the pieces showcase the messiness of life’s circumstances.

Indiana-native, Palm received his degrees in graphic design from the University of Michigan and Yale University. He later moved to New York City where he spent most of his life living and working. He visited Indiana as much as possible and later retired in Muncie, Indiana. He used his painting and drawing to stop time and remember life’s moments of sorrow, pain and joy.

The opening reception will be 5 to 7 p.m. December 1 in the Cornerstone art gallery located on the second floor of Cornerstone Center for the Arts. His framed pieces will continue to be on display in the gallery from December 2016 through January 2017.
