The Calumet Heritage Partnership kicks off its 2016 Calumet Heritage Event Series at Substation No. 9 in Hammond with a gallery opening featuring two local artists who capture the complex beauty and nature of the region’s industrial landscape in watercolor paintings and photographs. Called Calumet’s Industrial Heritage: Works by Kathy Los-Rathburn and Matthew Kaplan, the exhibit is a collaboration between the Calumet Heritage Partnership and South Shore Arts. It runs from January 15th to April 2nd, 2016. The opening reception will be 5-8pm, Thursday, January 28th at the gallery. Substation No. 9 is located at 435 Fayette Street in Hammond, Indiana.
The 2016 Calumet Heritage Event Series will explore the Calumet with engaging events throughout the year: Calumet Rails Excursion (Spring) – a narrated train ride from Chicago to South Bend aboard the South Shore Line; Paddle the Calumet (Summer) – a kayak and canoe paddle trip along the Calumet River seeing south Chicago as no one has seen it before (well…except for tugboat captains); Bike the Calumet (Autumn) – a bicycle ride from downtown Chicago to the Indiana Dunes …nearly exclusively on paved trails.
The Calumet region, which extends from southern Chicago to central LaPorte County, is likely the Chicago metro area’s best untapped resource. Mostly known as the industrial powerhouse that once provided much of the nation’s steel, the region is now appreciated for its natural beauty, biodiversity, expanding artist communities and excellent outdoor activities.
The Calumet Heritage Partnership seeks to preserve the Calumet region’s bi-state industrial heritage and promote its natural, cultural and recreational features. The Partnership is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. It is working to create the Calumet National Heritage Area.
