Vera Dines-Whitlow Community Art Show

July 26-28, 2024

“Together we can do this!” Vera Dines-Whitlow was the creative force who envisioned a non-competitive, community-focused art show for artists of all ages and skill levels. Inspired by her spirit and passion, we are pleased to host the 9th Annual Vera Dines-Whitlow Community Art Show. 

During the show weekend, Tom Liubakka will oversee two community art projects. He will sketch a mural of an iconic Cedar Lake site: a Monon Railroad steam engine at the Cedar Lake Depot on the shore of the lake. Consisting of three large canvases, the mural will be filled in by visitors to the art show throughout the weekend. Guests will follow Liubakka’s paint-by-color outline design and the mural will be a permanent installation at the museum after the show. Liubakka will also outline thematic, expressive 3-D chalk art projects on the sidewalk of the museum garden and use the same paint-by-color technique to allow art show attendees to participate in the creative process with him.
