The South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority announced the latest addition to the Just Around the Corner South Shore poster series.
The new poster, entitled Pride In Service, was created by artist Michael Chelich.
The poster captures a family-owned service station that began in East Chicago, alongside a picturesque row of homes in the Indiana Harbor community. The scene highlights cheerful neighbors and children strolling the sidewalks, celebrating the warmth and pride of local life.
Chelich will showcase the original painting behind Pride In Service and a collection of other works 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 27 at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond. Previous South Shore posters by Chelich are the 2008 Valparaiso University – Legacy of Leadership and 2009 Indiana University School of Medicine – Innovation.
The Just Around the Corner South Shore Poster Series started in 1997. The series promotes Northwest Indiana through artistic representations of the Region’s attractions, recreation, history and culture.
