Noteworthy Art Show
The Noteworthy Art show is a sample of visual talents related to the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra.  Artists represented are affiliated with the orchestra as musician members, board members, or Friends of the Symphony members and their families.  A variety of media and styles will be shown such as weaving, acrylic painting, leaded glass, oil painting, quilting, photography, watercolor and sculpture.  Much of the artwork will be for sale with a portion of the sales go toward supporting the work of the orchestra.  Other art will be on exhibit to display the talents of our special community members. 

The Apron: An Icon
The Apron: An Icon, in the second gallery space is the Beach Weavers of Northwest Indiana’s group show. This exhibition was first displayed at “Cultural Connections: The Soul of Region Women” in June of 2006 at the Indiana Welcome Center in Lake County.  This installation features aprons, an iconic representation of women’s work and women’s roles.  The Beach Weavers, as fiber artists use a variety of fiber related techniques to interpret the apron form.
