“Summer of Art” Annual Exhibition Opens at Southern Shore Art Association Gallery

Dana-Dabagia-SummerMembers of the Southern Shore Art Association will be presenting a salon style exhibition in a variety of media showcasing traditional to contemporary paintings, photography, sculpture, glass and 3-D works. The popular month long event will open with a free refreshments/snacks reception on Friday, July 5 from 5-8pm in conjunction with Michigan City’s “First Friday” celebration in the historic Uptown Arts District.

A special feature of this year’s exhibit will be a book sale, making available books and periodicals on art history, art instruction, design, photography, ceramics, jewelry, needlework and travel, all at bargain prices. Proceeds will further Southern Shore Art Association’s continued offering of art education for local special needs students and the yearly exhibition of these students’ artworks.

This is the fifth year of the SSAA "Summer of Art" exhibition which has been enjoyed by regional residents as well as visitors to our area. Michigan City is well on its way to being a vibrant art community and visitors browse our galleries and other cultural institutions. "Summer of Art" is an opportunity for art lovers, young and old, to see and purchase the works of talented regional artists. When they do they're inclined to come back to the same gallery year after year to see what's new."
