4 Past Events at Cornerstone Park

Come celebrate World Belly Dance Day while raising funds for our local Women's Shelter, A Better Way.  This is a FREE belly dance showcase called Shimmy Mob 2016.  We will treat you to more than 12 family friendly performances to celebrate World Belly Dance Day.  We will also have collection buckets for donations to A Better Way.

Our primary objective is to raise donations and awareness. Funds raised via Shimmy Mob will be donated to Abused Women and Children shelters throughout the world.  This year 202 cities are participating this year on five continents. Muncie is one of four cities here in Indiana. 2450 dancers around the world are all doing the same official Shimmy Mob choreography on the same day!  Don't miss the fun!

Rain location is inside Cornerstone Center for the Arts--follow the signs. The show must go on!  All are welcome!

Cornerstone Center for the Arts and the City of Muncie are excited to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Cornerstone Park on Thursday, June 2 at 5:30 p.m. The ceremony will feature live demonstrations from students and instructors of Cornerstone Center for the Arts and remarks from Mayor Dennis Tyler, Jeff Robinson of Cornerstone, and Ron Spangler of Community Enhancement Projects. At the conclusion of the ceremony, guests are invited to Cornerstone for light refreshments and the opening of the art show “Life in Plastic” in Cornerstone's Art Gallery on the second floor.

Cornerstone Park sits at 101 S. Madison St. at the former site of Holiday Cleaners. The development of the park was made possible through partnerships with the Ball Brothers Foundation, the Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, the George and Frances Ball Foundation, Community Enhancement Projects, the Zeigler Foundation, the Muncie Sanitary District, the Muncie Redevelopment Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler. The park was created as a gateway to Downtown Muncie and will offer new outdoor opportunities for the surrounding businesses and organizations.

Cornerstone Park features lush landscaping and ornamental foliage from Jay-Crew Landscape and is home to the new public art piece titled “EXTESS” by PROJECTiONE. Cornerstone plans to utilize the new park for upcoming summer classes, workshops, and events.
