An opening reception featuring the artists, items for sale, and prize drawings will be held on April 7, from 1-4 PM, with a style show at 2 PM. Members of the Duneland Weavers’ Guild will be presenting various weaving demonstrations at CAC throughout their exhibition.

Artists demonstrations are free to attend and all are welcome.
The talented artists of the Guild have been busy creating original handwoven and knitted shawls, scarves, linens, wall hangings and more. You can purchase items on-site at the Art Center during the exhibition.
Weaving is a lively art in Northwest Indiana. The Duneland Weavers’ Guild has met monthly for more than seventy years, September through May. Current fiber artists, or those wishing to learn weaving are invited to join the Guild. Meetings are held via Zoom or in person at Three Moons Fiberworks in Chesterton. Visit dunelandweaversguild.org for details on membership and meetings.
Expressive Minds is the CAC Youth Art Exhibition, also running April 6-29 in the lower gallery space. An opening reception celebrating the young artists and their work is scheduled for April 12, from 5-6:30 PM.
Expressive Minds highlights the work of CAC’s in-house and outreach youth + teen students, ages 5-18, who participated in CAC programming between September 2023-March 2024. This show is a celebration of the young artists who imagine, make, construct, and create with CAC. Visit www.chestertonart.org to learn more about CAC’s in-house and outreach youth + teen programs.
