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!
