Color in Transit” is a Roving Art Exhibition on a Penske moving truck featuring a diverse group of artists whose work explores color, not only as a visual element, but as a device that connects identity, culture and memory. Through a rich variety of media — including textile, photography, sculpture, painting, neon light and found objects — these artists harness color to evoke personal narratives and collective experiences.
The Roving Art Exhibit will travel to various neighborhoods over ten days, providing docent-led tours and workshops directly within the community. This groundbreaking initiative marks the first of its kind in La Porte County, bringing the enriching experience of art directly to communities.
This program is made possible by grants from Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation (MCCEC) and Cleveland-Cliffs Foundation, enabling the organization to expand its free community art outreach and engagement programs, including LCA’s Roving Art Exhibition program in partnership with Naomi Elson and Lauren Iacoponi of Unpacked Mobile Gallery (founded in 2017).
Exhibiting Artists: Claire Ashely, Bryana Bibbs, Hale Ekinci, Spencer Gale, Allen Moore, Katelyn Patton, Zeinab Saab, Darryll Schiff, Edwin P. Shelton, Anne Yafi
