Art students create murals to honor and beautify Gary, Indiana
All summer long, art students at Indiana University Northwest have been working to make Gary more beautiful. For one of the students, the project is deeply personal. Fine details matter to Jackie Player-Sanders when it comes to art and her hometown. "There's such a strong sense of community in Gary that sometimes the media doesn't seem to recognize that," said Player-Sanders. Others may paint Gary with a broad brush — but not Player-Sanders. "Gary does mean a lot to me because there are more people in Gary that I love than anywhere else in the world," she said. Gary is where Player-Sanders grew up, where she retired, and now at 75, where she goes to school. She is studying art at IU Northwest, where she and other art students were commissioned for a big project. "We're really honored that the city of Gary has placed this trust in us," said Erin McHugh, director of arts programming at the School of the Arts at IU Northwest. Since May, the IU Northwest School of the Arts has collaborated with the city to create colorful panels featuring famous people from Gary. "We are preparing to install these very beautiful murals again that honor famous Gary athletes, Gary entertainers," said Christopher Harris, executive director of redevelopment for the City of Gary. On busy Broadway in Gary, that work begins with five 17-foot-long murals on a building that already features a giant Jackson 5 mural. "We want people to have a different impression," Harris said. "This is one of our most heavily trafficked corridors in the city, and what people see on Broadway is often their impression of Gary, Indiana." Impressions can change with time, hard work, and a little paint. "When you ride down Broadway, think of these people," said Player-Sanders.

Local artist helps capture WFRV Local 5's 70 years of news
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – It was an exciting day at WFRV Local 5. To celebrate the station's seventy years, a local artist created something special. Jamie Andrastek has watched WFRV Local 5 his entire life, but his favorite person to watch on his TV is meteorologist Jordan Lamers. 'He's an awesome meteorologist, and whenever there is a tornado or something, we watch the weather,' said Andrastek. Artwork by Jamie Andrastek Andrastek stopped by the station with his mom to meet Jordan, and after spending some time behind the weather desk, he shared his sketchbooks with us, filled with original artwork bursting with color and creativity. Jamie was born with autism and uses free-hand drawing to connect with the community in a creative way. His mom, Kristen Henke, said drawing helps him open up socially. 'All his favorite places he started making drawings for them, and then he wanted to frame and give them to them, and I said absolutely. So we framed them, and it's a great way for Jamie to interact with his community,' said Henke. Andrastek draws every day, and even gives some of his drawings to local businesses. 'I did draw for the mayor, and I did draw for the Urban Air Adventure Park in Appleton, and then I did JD's, Tom's, and other places.' Dock Spiders' stolen bases score over $3k for Boys & Girls Club 'It's his way of reaching out to people and it's difficult for kids with autism to do that. But it has really helped him grow, and hers become far more social in the last 10 years since he started doing that.' Kristen Henke – Jamie's mom And to celebrate the station, he gifted us a drawing of all the WFRV Local 5 logos dating back to the very beginning, seventy years ago. 'I had to look at it very carefully, and then I had to use my twistable crazy art crayons to color it in,' said Andrastek. Jamie's mom says he's grown so much in recent years, and that his drawings have helped those around him embrace him for who he truly is. From all of us here at WFRV Local 5, thank you, Jamie, for sharing your passion with us and becoming part of our station's history. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Art made from trash is treasured at San Francisco gallery exhibit
San Francisco artists are turning heads by turning rubbish into works worthy to be put on display at one of the city's most-renowned galleries. To most people, a dump is just a dump. But to Deena Qabazard, it's a full-service art supply store with a very flexible return policy. "Sometimes you look and you're like, 'No!' and then sometimes the unexpected car comes and you're like, 'Oh my goodness, fantastic!'" said Deena Qabazard, a Kuwaiti-American artist who has been mining the muck for years, looking to give old objects a new spark. On this particular morning, she scores a bracelet, a mirror, and a string of chandelier crystals, all ready for their second act. Back in her studio, those finds turn into collages of metal, textiles, and photographs, much of it pulled straight from the dump. "Now I'm kind of just playing around compositionally, what it looks like," Qabazard said. As climate concerns take center stage, repurposed art is getting more wall space and less side-eye from the art world. Exhibit A: The latest show from the city's garbage collector, Recology, which for 35 years has run an artist-in-residence program, now on display at the city's famed Minnesota Street Project. Deborah Munk, who runs the program, said 99% of the materials are what is referred to as upcycled. "Artists have been using trash for a long time, but maybe for different reasons because they couldn't afford it. But now, with all the environmental issues we're dealing with, it's becoming more apparent," Munk said. From self-portraits made with discarded mirrors and the artist's own hair, to installations built from pool floats left high and dry, and even one of Qabazard's earlier pieces, a weathered photograph, surrounded by scraps, all pulled from the city's trash and meant to reframe how we see beauty. "It's really important for younger generations to see we can reuse things and transform them, how they can expand our imagination," Qabazard said. The Recology San Francisco Artist in Residence exhibit runs through August 30 at Minnesota Street Project.
