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.

The musicianship of Asleep at the Wheel has become the stuff of legends. Reuter’s pegged The Wheel as "one of the best live acts in the business." Taking a page from Bob Wills’ book, the band has constantly toured at a national level. The alumni roster is well over 80+ members, including an impressive list of musicians who have performed with the artists such as Bob Dylan, George Strait, Van Morrison, Lyle Lovett, Ryan Adams, and many more. A quick scan of awards, such as "Touring Band of the Year" (CMAs, 1976) and "Lifetime Achievement in Performance" (Americana Music Awards, 2009), not to mention their near dominance of the Grammy "Country Instrumental" category over the years (they have won ten Grammys overall!), reflects the reputation of the band’s musicianship. Currently the band consists of Ray Benson on Lead Guitar and Vocals, Katie Shore on Fiddle and Vocals, David Sanger on Drums, Dennis Ludiker on Fiddle, Mandolin, and Vocals, Josh Hoag on Bass, Connor Forsyth on Piano and Vocals, and Flavio Pasquetto on Steel Guitar. Ray Benson fell in love with Western Swing because of its unique combination of American blues, swing, and traditional fiddling, and due its demanding musical chops. It’s what Benson calls "jazz with a cowboy hat". It’s a thrill to hear live and, between those Texas Twin Fiddles and Boogie Piano, you can bet you’ll be dancin’ down the aisles and swingin’ all night long when the Wheel rolls into Muncie!

The Muncie Three Trails Music Series is unique in the state of Indiana as the only annual music series featuring current recording artists of national stature and critical acclaim in FREE public concerts. Other 2021 series artists are Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Sensational Barnes Brothers, and the Lost Bayou Ramblers. Full information about the series and all 2021 artists can be found at www.MuncieThreeTrails.com
