LCA's events connect our community while offering rich artistic and cultural experiences.

Join us for a flavorful evening at Bistro on the Greens, where 20% of your food purchase will be donated to LCA! Savor classic Creole dishes and rustic Southern cuisine, all made with fresh ingredients and a touch of Southern hospitality. Dine in, enjoy the lively New Orleans-inspired atmosphere and support the arts–because every bite gives back! *Good for take-out and gift cards as well.*

Please mention you are at the restaurant as a supporter of LCA, (Reservations preferred).

LCA Artmaker members, join us for a very unique and authentic art experience, exclusively for LCA donors. The workshop will include an introduction to Kyoto culture and history as it relates to the art of kintsugi, overview of the process of kintsugi with examples of work (current and historic) that all can see and touch, actual process of kintsugi (so all can adhere broken pieces together and paint chips, cracks or breaks with gold) and the importance of Japanese tea as related to kintsugi history, with a provision of Japanese tea for all.

This is an offering for those who could not join us for the first workshop previously held. If you participated in the January workshop, please allow others the opportunity to sign up for this one. This workshop is limited to the first 50 people who RSVP. Please RSVP to Nicole at nguenin@lubeznikcenter.org.

Join us for a FREE day of art-making at LCA on Saturday, May 24 from 1-3 PM (Central)!

This free, drop-in event welcomes all ages to create their own mini weaving project using recycled materials provided by LCA. Families are also invited to contribute to a large collaborative weaving that will be displayed outside on LCA’s building. Plus, kids can enjoy a fun, family-friendly scavenger hunt through LCA’s three galleries, all in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Family Days are particularly engaging for school-age children and their parents or caregivers. Free snacks will be provided, and no advance registration is required. Free Family Day offers children and adults opportunities to connect while exploring LCA’s exhibition, "Ordinary Wonders."

This program is supported by the generous funding of the Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation (MCCEC).

Calling All Young Artists!

Submit your art for the Young Artists Expo, a showcase for artists between the ages of 7 and 18. Contact nmarcano@lubeznikcenter.org to schedule a portfolio review by May 9. This is an informal review that can take place in person or online.

Join us Friday, June 6 from 5-8 PM (Central) for the opening celebration of the Lindsey O'Brien Kesling Wishing Tree Foundation Young Artists Expo (LOK YAE) showcase at Lubeznik Center for the Arts!

The evening’s free, family-friendly program will begin at 5 PM with an artist meet and greet, followed by a presentation at 6 PM (Central). Attendees can browse the exhibition of student artwork and even purchase artwork created by these talented young artists. Light refreshments and a cash bar will be available throughout the event.

This exhibition is a showcase of talented youth ages 7 through 18 in all media. The LOK YAE represents artists from LCA’s partnerships with numerous community and regional school partners. The artwork, chosen through individual portfolio review, is an impressive display of the extraordinarily talented youth from across the region.

LCA Artmaker members, spend the day seeing the art of DC Langley, hosted by his daughter Judi at the home and garden he and his wife, Joan, built in 1968. DC was a prolific artist, choosing watercolor to render what he observed for over 40 years along the southern shores of Lake Michigan, and a long-time participant in the Lubeznik Arts Festival. Light refreshments and wine will be served. This event is exclusively for LCA donors.

Please RSVP to Nicole at nguenin@lubeznikcenter.org.

LCA Artmaker members, enjoy a "Summer in Kyoto" experience in the home of kintsugi instructor and ceramic artist Sharon Meyers and her husband, Kevin Yost, in their intentionally designed property using Japanese design principles and a reduce, reuse, recycle approach to creating the space. Savor Japanese-inspired drinks, appetizers and desserts Sharon learned to make while studying in Kyoto last year, along with a chef demo of a Japanese dish you can then make at home. This event is exclusively for LCA donors.
