Cornerstone Center for the Arts — Attraction in Muncie

I've lived in Muncie forever and it's been fun to see Cornerstone grow into something quite amazing.

I had my senior Prom here in 2006. And the worst thing about it was the neighborhood (that and I had to walk the long way around in the rain and in prom dressed because someone wouldn't let me in the back, common use door). Just the kind of place you didn't want to be after dark. But that's been addressed by larger measures and now it's a place I feel very safe and comfortable.

I've taken several classes, both art and dance here. The instructors are nice and skilled. Kayla, who is the dance teacher, never fails to impress me with her skills at both teaching and managing all the tiny dancers they throw at her.

I've also worked events here as a Photographer (for performances, events, Proms and weddings) and I'm always meet with respect, workers asking if there is anything that I need, and inviting me to eat (which is a HUGELY considerate thing in my field).

My sister and her best friend runs the Haunted House located on the upper floors in the Fall. Cornerstone has given them endless support and help with making the place better. I've never meet or had interaction with someone at this place.

My one issue is the parking situation. It's gotten better over the years with addition of additional lots, but if you are going to a prom or a wedding or another high traffic event you could be walking a ways to get there. Even in spite of that it's an...

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Spring 2019 at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with all the gorgeous architecture and natural light. The bride and groom experienced a bit of rain after their church wedding ceremony, so we headed over to Cornerstone and they accommodated the change in plans and were so happy to allow us to use one of the ballet studios to finish up their couples portraits before starting the reception.

The couple had a large number of guests, yet the ballroom never felt crowded. Their dance floor was the perfect size to accommodate all the wonderful, fun guests they had invited to celebrate their wedding, and the staff was amazing to work with at Cornerstone and ensure the couple had the best time.

I'd highly recommend couples looking to get married in Muncie to consider Cornerstone for its rich history and beautiful architecture. It's definitely a dream for a photographer to photograph, too, with so many incredible options...

Majestic architecture of one of the largest Masonic temples and one with a long history. The organizations have moved to smaller facilities and leave behind a castle of rooms, arches, double doors, and alcoves.. beautiful settings for special events from Renaissance dinners to modern proms and weddings complete with a huge kitchen. The facilities have been quite upgraded with new lighting and restrooms. Now the home of community arts organizations, the Halls are lined with artwork and filled with music. It is quite 'alive' and...
