South Shore Arts Announces 11th Anniversary of Art in Focus Founded by Rita M. Ray
Art in Focus, South Shore Arts’ free art appreciation program founded by Rita M. Ray in 1997, will celebrate its eleventh year in Munster and third in Crown Point with an in-depth study of influential architects and architecturally significant cities around the world. The series will demonstrate the great diversity of architectural styles and trends throughout time, promising to be both inspirational and constructive! The program will begin in Munster on September 10, and in Crown Point, on September 18.
In addition to the highest quality video presentations by leading authorities currently available, an integral part of every program is the time set aside to express ideas and ask questions that broaden participants’ views on art. The goal of Art in Focus parallels that of the U.S. Department of Education, “Learning Never Ends.” Programs are led by Linda Eyermann, South Shore Arts’ Director of Education since 2004. Assisting Linda in the planning of this year’s program is Linda Dunn of the Munster Public Library.
Art in Focus is presented twice monthly in Munster on the second and fourth Monday mornings at 10 a.m. in the William J. Bachman Gallery and every third Tuesday evening of the month at 7:00 p.m. at South Shore Arts’ branch in Crown Point. There are no membership dues or program fees to participate. Adults of all ages who want to continue to increase their understanding and appreciation of art and its history are welcome.
Art in Focus Founded by Rita M. Ray is sponsored by Community Healthcare System.
