Join Cornerstone Center for Arts for First Thursday on August 6, 2015, for an opening reception and art show featuring the art of Missy Adams. The show entitled “Pop Art Presidents” is a collection of paintings honoring the lives and history of the 43 presidents of the United States through red, white, and blue paint.

Missy Adams is a local artist who took her love of portrait painting and history to create a series of paintings celebrating the colorful personalities and interesting lives led by the nation’s presidents. The show was painted with the limited color palette of red, white, and blue and utilizes shading and layering to create depth representing each president’s own personality. Each painting features a corresponding quote from that president displayed under their portrait.

Slasher, gore, and horror fans alike will have the unique opportunity to view the feature-length film Headless on Friday, October 16, at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. This free screening will feature an 8:00 p.m. showing of the film with screenwriter Nathan Erdel and producer Kara Erdel (both Muncie natives) in attendance. Due to the graphic, adult nature of this film the showing is strictly for attendees 18 years and older. 

The body count climbs as a skull-faced killer battles his inner demons in this retro-slasher epic.

Headless, in its original form, entered the independent horror scene as a ten-minute piece of footage contained within 2012’s Found. Fans will remember Headless as the nasty little peek into a slasher movie that horrified Found’s two young friends. With its amped-up blood and guts and iconic machete-wielding villain, this footage was later deemed so controversial that it caused Found to be banned around the world.  Now, due to overwhelming demand by fans of the original movie, Bloomington, Indiana’s Forbidden Films and Gentleman Monster Productions have collaborated to bring to life the complete, bloody story of Headless. The feature-length version of this intense, gore-filled fantasy brings the gruesome and the psychedelic together in one ultra-hardcore horror party.
