Artist's Gallery Walk at the Rumely

One of La Porte’s Architectural Jewels from “yester year” is the Historic Rumely Building on Michigan Avenue, one block from the Courthouse Square, and across from City Hall. It has been the home of the annual Artist’s Gallery Walk that has been held there for thirteen years in conjunction with the Sunflower Fair. It is always on the third weekend in September. This year the Sunflower Fair will be held on September 21st.

The Artist's Gallery Walk begins with works of art being placed in the Rumely. The pieces on display are all art in different media from watercolor to acrylic, paper, ink and various sculptural materials plus graphic art.

As guests come in, they are given the chance to register. Those who choose to register will be given a ballot to select their favorite work. All works of art will be numbered, and after the people walk through and view the art, they will be able to select their favorite work.

After the guests select their favorite work, they can drop their ballot off at the receptionist's desk. At the end of the day, "visitor's choice" ballots will be tallied.

The exhibiting artists are representatives of La Porte area artists. Many show their work in galleries away from our immediate area, in Chicago and New York. If you would like to display your work in the Artist's Gallery Walk, telephone 219-362-2558.
