The Hammond Art Tour was this Saturday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Originally, I was not to be around. I had an assignment in Chicago, then later one in Saint Joseph, MI. The Chicago gig was postponed, so I had the morning to check out the walk.
I did not make it everywhere. Places I missed:
Do take some time to visit all of these venues, any time. The Art Walk opens "all the doors" to the public at the same time. Northwest Indiana, as I have stated many times before, is dripping in talent, whether it be theater, art, music, and photography. Hammond is becoming a focal point for our talent. Do yourself a favor and go see.
The following are photos I took on "my" walk, starting with the Hammond Public Library, where I surprisingly met my friend Dawn Arnold Daimantopoulos. I write "surprisingly", because the first time we ever met in person was 2 years ago on this same art walk, when she exhibited at Substation No. 9. That was my first stop that year as well. Note too, I have taken some random photos along my travel for this year.

I did not go into the Innovation Center. I did walk by out front on Hohman and photographed chalkings on the side walk.
When I arrived I saw John Vezmar behind the counter. I sat on the sofa to relax, and took a couple photos out the window. However, I did not take photos of the art inside . . . the comfortable sofa got to me.
I returned to Flex Studios to get an update. Sunday morning I drove back to see the final product. Note, the sun is really not in the right spot in the morning. Shadows from poles are cast on the wall, and changes the meaning of the mural. I suggest going to see around noon time.
