Lubeznik Center for the Arts and Unpacked Mobile Gallery Presents ''Color in Transit''
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - Lubeznik Center for the Arts (LCA) and Unpacked Mobile Gallery presents the Roving Art Exhibition, Color in Transit, from August 26 through September 8, 2025.
Color in Transit is a Roving Art Exhibition 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.
Exhibiting artists include Claire Ashley, Bryana Bibbs, Hale Ekinci, Spencer Gale, Allen Moore, Katelyn Patton, Zeinab Saab, Darryll Schiff, Edwin P. Shelton and Anne Yafi.
The Roving Art Exhibit will travel to various neighborhoods for 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).
"These grants enable us to significantly expand our reach and provide valuable, free arts experiences to the Michigan City and La Porte community. The Roving Arts Exhibit is designed to make art accessible and engaging for everyone." - Janet Bloch, LCA's executive director. Unpacked's curatorial mission encompasses the value or art as an experience, and fosters the relationship between institutions, society and artists.
