The City of Gary is transforming an underutilized downtown building into a cultural hub that will showcase visual and culinary arts. ArtHouse: A Social Kitchen is a partnership with artist Theaster Gates and the City to create a civic asset that features three commissioned works of visual art, offers culinary training, and provides cultural programming that uses food as a platform for community engagement. The City will use this public space/anchor building as a catalyst to develop a cultural district and promote urban revitalization.
