Hammond, you showed up. 🌿❤️

What a great day at the Art Walk with Farmed & Forged in Downtown Hammond!

Thank you to every single person who stopped by The Art Table today. We painted, drew, made new friends, created together and watched kids and adults sit side by side and simply have some fun making art.

After everything Northwest Indiana has been through lately, I think we all needed a little bit of that.
One of my favorite things to watch was our community piece grow throughout the day. One person added a mark, then another, then another, until it became something that belonged to everyone.
And of course, the rocks.

We started painting community rocks in Munster after the storm as a small way to create something positive together in the middle of so much change. Today, Hammond added its own.
Maybe we're onto something here.

Maybe these rocks keep traveling with us. Munster. Hammond. Wherever The Art Table lands next. Each community creating something of its own while becoming part of something much bigger across Northwest Indiana.

Thank you, Hammond. You showed up strong today, and we can't wait to see you again next month for the next Art Walk.

Proud of you, Northwest Indiana

Where will we go next? 🌿🎨😎

🎨 CALLING ALL ARTISTS + CREATIVE HUMANS!

We’re going to be out at the Downtown Hammond Farmers Market tomorrow, and we would love for you to join us!

After the disaster that recently ripped through Northwest Indiana, I think we could all use a few hours where our minds get to be somewhere else. Some of us are still without power. My family is still without power. So many people are exhausted, displaced, cleaning up, waiting and trying to figure out what normal even looks like right now.

Tomorrow is about creating together.

The Art Table will be bringing:

🎨 Interactive produce + vegetable painting
✏️ Draw a Friend
🌈 Face painting
🪨 Hammond Strong community rocks
🖍️ Chalk art throughout the Farmers Market

And we’re calling on our local artists to help us chalk up Downtown Hammond!

Chalk artists can start around 1:30 PM, and we’ll keep creating until the market ends at 7 PM.

You absolutely do not have to be an artist to join us. If you want to volunteer, paint something, draw something, meet somebody new, laugh for a little while or simply get out of the house and be around your community, come hang out with us.

There will be art, music and plenty happening throughout the market, and afterward we'll be heading over to Paul Henry’s for Jam Night.

For a few hours, let's give our heads somewhere else to be.

Let's create together. Let's laugh together. Let's reconnect with one another and remember how important human connection is, especially when things are hard.

Interested in joining us? Drop a comment, send me a message or email [email protected].

A very special thank you to my parents. ❤️

My mom literally shattered her wrist and was in surgery while the tornado was coming through. She came out of surgery and went home to no power, so we made sure their RV was up and running and they had somewhere comfortable to stay while everything around us was being figured out.

And even in the middle of all of that, her response was basically, “I wish I could be there, but this is what I can do.”

When I said The Art Table needed more supplies for Sunday, my parents immediately stepped up. Between The Art Table and a generous donation from our family business, Diamond Financial Services, Inc., we were able to bring even more supplies, activities and little moments of creativity to our community.

That is who my parents are. When things get hard, they show up however they can.

Community. Family. These are the times, people.
Showing up looks different for everyone. Maybe you can physically be there. Maybe you can donate. Maybe you can bring someone a meal, check on a neighbor or simply ask, “What do you need?”

This is also so much bigger than Munster. Communities throughout Northwest Indiana and the South Suburbs have been hit incredibly hard. As our own little corners start getting better, I hope we continue looking around and seeing who still needs a hand.

And I have to highlight this beautiful Munster Strong pin created by one of our incredible art teachers from Frank H. Hammond Elementary. ❤️ I absolutely LOVE this design. That little heart with wings feels pretty perfect right now.

Mom and Bob, thank you. I love you guys. ❤️
There are a million ways to show up. Just keep showing up for one another.

From The Art Table to our community ❤️

Northwest Indiana is hurting today.
So many of our neighborhoods are without power. Trees are down. Homes and vehicles have been damaged. Families are displaced, businesses are trying to figure out what comes next, and many people are simply trying to get through the next few days.
But we're also seeing something incredibly important happen.

People are showing up for one another. 💞

Neighbors are checking on neighbors. Strangers are clearing streets together. People are sharing generators, charging phones, offering food, water, ice, showers, transportation and whatever else they have available.

That is community.🌿

If you have resources to offer, please add them to this thread. If you need something, please ask. There is absolutely no shame in needing help right now. Someone in our extended community may have exactly what you need or know where to find it.
And please check on the people around you, especially elderly neighbors, people with disabilities, families with young children and anyone who may be alone or without transportation.

The Art Table has always believed that community is built by people showing up for one another.
Right now, that's exactly what we need to do.
Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. And love thy neighbor.

With love,
The Art Table ❤️
