First of all I would like to make clear that what I am announcing here is the most difficult situation I have ever had to put into words in my entire life.In October of 2009 along with one of my best friends, and a group of talented artists that later became family, opened the doors to Cornerstone Art Gallery. A platform for Low Brow art, primarily supporting the Las Vegas Tattoo and Graffiti community. Cornerstone Art Gallery since has strived to be a staple in the Las Vegas underground art scene and has given 100's of artists a place to call home. But today, December 30th after a single selfless act, that all has changed...This morning we received a call from a neighbor informing us that our door looked broken into. We rushed over to the gallery to find the door had been pried open, and with shock and devastation we walked into a 100% EMPTY GALLERY! The feeling of seeing every wall striped from originals works of art leaving only behind the description and price tags of artist's hard work behind is the worse feeling I could ever imagine. To have every single item stolen as a gallery owner with the faith and trust of artists to house, support and sell their art is indescribable. I am devastated, disappointed and embarassed that this has happened. This last year has been a really rough year for Cornerstone Art Gallery and for many others within the Arts District, with the closing of both Reclaime and Black Bird Studios as evidence. Along with all the issues facing First Friday concerning funding, downsizing and ultimately an undisclosed hiatus of the event as a whole, has truly made a negative impact on business and the support from the community. All of this along with today's discovery is most certainly the nail in the coffin and death to an era of low brow art provided by Cornerstone Art Gallery.I am unfamiliar with asking for help. I have never used this platform of crowd funding, nor had a legitimate reason until today. We are asking the community to give us a helping hand in replacing a fraction of the artists loss at Cornerstone. Every single penny will go to the five artists affected by this theft. The artists are as follows and in no particular order: Nina Navarette, Jason Gruda, Noel Terracina, Joe Riley and Visual Bluff. Both Dana Anderson and myself had artwork and personal items stolen from the gallery as well but again we are asking for support of the artist,s thousands of dollars in works of art stolen.We have tremendous faith in our community to provide a helping hand for these original artists in their time of need. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING (YOU) DO HELPS ALOT! We encourage if you are in the position to donate to please find it in your hearts to do so. In addition to donations, some very important supportive elements that will go a long way is by SHARING our posts, goFUNDme links, and information. Getting the word out is as important as doantions, so by simpling SHARING THIS INFORMATION< YOU ARE HELPING in a major way. Another key element in helping these artists is to continually check Craigslist, OfferUp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for "ART FOR SALE". Take a moment and get mentally familiar with these works of art so if you see them again we can catch the thieves that did this.Again asking for help is something I am not familiar with, but I am desperate to do all that I can to help these people I genuinely love, admire and respect... The one thing i am familiar with is SUPPORT! These artists SUPPORT me while I SUPPORT them, so I am asking YOU to PLEASE SUPPORT MEMBERS OF (OUR) COMMUNITY.Sincerly,Phillip Limon(Owner of Cornerstone Art Gallery)
