Eureka Springs School of the Arts recently accepted a $6,000 donation from Cornerstone Bank representatives to help fund revitalization, purchase equipment and complete the school's clay studio.

To commemorate Cornerstone Bank's 100th year of operation, the bank is giving back $100,000 to the communities it serves throughout the bank's centennial year.

Bank President & CEO Charlie Cross said, "This is our way to say thank you to the citizens, communities and our clients for their 100 years of loyalty and support."

ESSA Interim Director Peggy Kjelgaard said, "The donation will now allow the school to teach students the complete clay process (and) provide a neat area with new tools at the year-round workshops."

I think it is wonderful. The Arts bring so much learning and things to the people of this community.

I am a volunteer for Wildflowers Christian Outreach and they are trying to start a Safe House For Battered Women of whitch Carroll County has none. They have to be sent to Bentonville or other places in the state. Carroll County needs this Safe House and I think the Arts is wonderful but at the same time a place for Battered Women is important.
