All About the Square: Area Artists Association

November 2-30, 2024

To celebrate its 44th Anniversary, the Area Artists Association (A3) challenged its members to submit artwork addressing the theme All About the Square.

The Square creates a foundation and stable defined space for the artist, as well as evoke emotion with use of color in order to tell many stories. Area Artists will take the mind’s eye on many journeys and tackle the topic in creative ways, pushing the boundaries of what a “Square” might be.

Among the 24 featured artists are: Tom Brand and Carole Stodder (Pines); Larry Brechner, Donna Hapac, and Kristina Knowski (Chesterton); Deb Dyer (New Buffalo), Amanda Freymann, Larry Jensen, and Kevin Firme (Beverly Shores), Christine Hubbell (Westville), Teresina Pavel (Gary), Dorothy Graden (Valparaiso); Jane Cowley, ANKO (Anneke Dekker), Bunny Dimke, Diane Grams, Timothy D. Lace, Laurel Izard and Suzy Vance (Michigan City); Carol Estes and Ginny Scott (LaPorte); Kuhn Hong (Chicago); Connie Kassal and George Kassal (Long Beach).

Artists' Reception: Saturday, November 9 from 12-2 PM
