By Cornerstone’s Board of Directors—

MUNCIE, IN—Cornerstone Center for the Arts is celebrating community, creativity and history with its 2025 Fall Fundraiser, running now through November 30. This year, every contribution has double the impact thanks to a generous $5,000 matching gift; meaning if Cornerstone raises $5,000, it will unlock an additional $5,000 for a total of $10,000 in support.

As the organization’s historic building nears its 100th anniversary, Cornerstone continues to serve as a hub for the arts in East Central Indiana. From painting, dance, fencing and martial arts to ceramics, music, community events, weddings and private rentals, Cornerstone offers opportunities for people of all ages to learn, grow and connect through creative experiences in a historic setting..

“Cornerstone belongs to the community,” said board chair Kourtney McCauliff. “Whether it’s a child discovering a love of dance, a family celebrating a milestone in our ballroom, or a student taking their first art class, these walls hold nearly a century of memories. We’re excited to continue building toward the future.”

Proceeds from the fundraiser directly support these programs and help preserve the landmark Masonic Temple building, which will celebrate its centennial in 2026. Contributions ensure Cornerstone can continue offering accessible arts education while maintaining one of Muncie’s most iconic gathering spaces.

Donations can be made online through https://www.cornerstonearts.org/giving-page or by mailing a check to:

Cornerstone Center for the Arts
 520 E. Main Street
Muncie, IN 47305

Every dollar donated from now until November 30 moves Cornerstone closer to its goal; and thanks to the match, every gift goes twice as far.
