TAI has teamed up with the Indiana Historical Society and local groups from northwestern Indiana to develop a LYCEUM to explore how residents express regional, communal and personal meaning through a creative life pursued outside of - but sometimes in relation to - the workplace. We called it - "Our Other Lives: Work and Creativity in the Region." Participants could sign up for traditional culinary master classes in Greek pastries or African American bar-be-que Gary style. There were panel discussions, evening performances and a Sunday afternoon tour of some of the Region's most distinguishing cultural and historical sites.

We all have many different lives. How interconnected are they? Does a daytime accountant regard her evening job as a musician in a restaurant as an OTHER life? This site will explore Gary's residents' answers to these questions.

View how some of Calumet Region's residents have handled "their other lives" in our exhibit!
