PlySpace completes the Fall 2018 Residency Term projects with a homemade candlepin bowling alley by resident artist Heather Van Winckle at the Muncie Mall. The bowling project, Main Stream, will be located inside a vacant storefront at the mall (near JC Penney and across from Country Charm) and will be open to the public during select times from October 27th to November 4th, 2018. 

Main Stream explores the game of bowling as an all-American pastime in an all-American location. The game of bowling is unique in that it can be learned by almost anyone at any age and only requires skill to knock down all of the pins at the end of the lane. With Main Stream, the game is reimagined as a short-length candlepin bowling lane with a soft wood surface which will take the impression of the ball after each roll, making it more difficult to roll the ball straight as the games progress. The ball used is small, only 2.5 lbs, and is easy for anyone to roll, though the lane may become difficult to navigate. The homemade lane features a built-in ball return and pin reset, bringing the game back to its simple roots, this time with an artist’s twist.

The public is encouraged to stop by the Main Stream storefront, located across from Country Charm, to learn more about PlySpace, participate in the project, and meet the artist. 

Open Bowling Times

The bowling lane will be open to Muncie Mall patrons and curious community members alike. Times will also be posted at the storefront, and there is no fee to bowl. Children should be supervised by an adult.

About the artist:

Van Winkle is a project-based, interdisciplinary artist who received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute with major focus in sculpture. She is interested in the nuances of American culture and the definition of “normal” social behavior. About this project, she writes, “Consider ‘normal’ as the deepest set tracks in a field we all walked through. All of us took our individual footsteps, sometimes choosing a path others had laid, often deviating either on purpose or without thinking onto untouched soil. A society full of edge-cases still forms a path somewhere in-between. Even if that line truly represents no one person, it represents us collectively. Main Stream examines the ways in which we continually shape our society to either reinforce or deviate from the paths trekked before.”

Join us for our candlelight Christmas Eve service and refreshments at our historic, downtown church. We will have a Christmas story, children's time, readings and carols. 

Parking is on the Jackson Street side of the building and the entrance is on the Jackson Street side of the building toward the west end.

Local artist Terrika Clark challenges viewers to see more than just their reflection in her work.

This mixed-media exhibit will be displayed in the Judith Barnes Memorial Gallery on the second floor of Cornerstone Center of the Arts.

The opening reception will be held in conjunction with Muncie DWNTWN's First Thursday on February 4 from 5 - 8 p.m. and will remain on display until February 26

Join us as we create our own paper using scraps, dried flowers, glitter, and anything else our heart desires. By adding seeds to the paper, our love can blossom this spring after being planted. What a unique way to share your affection!

Each table can seat up to 6 people in your party and will be socially distanced from others in our Colonnade Room.

“Take & Make” kits are also available for purchase for $5 each. These kits will include the supplies necessary to complete the project, excluding any items that are likely found in your home. For this project, those items are a blender and old towels or tshirts.

Please plan to pick up your kit between 1 - 3 p.m. Saturday, February 6 at the Cornerstone Center for the Arts North Entrance.
