Central District Organization

The Central District Organization is about Gary's Midtown area coming together to build their community. To raise an awareness and mobilize people to act on issues such as: sanitary problems, abandoned buildings, closed schools, social problems, etc. We're youth in the Anansi's Web, which helps youth to articulate, collaborate, and try to get reactions from the community. We are coming to Street Level in Chicago from Gary, Indiana to help us express how we feel through Graphic Arts.

Gary Indiana Community

These posters of our community, Gary, Indiana, are to inform the citizens and government on the problems we have in our society. There are too many abondoned buildings and closed down schools. We want to better our community and show the people that we care. We are stating the problem and it is not our job alone to come up with the solution, its the communities job to come up with the solution. Its not what the community can do for you, but what you can do for the community.
We are putting these posters up in our community. We are hoping those in power and those who are not (the citizens) will be able to help. People are constantly saying they can't wait to get out and move on from the city of Gary. Rather than saying this, people could say "Why not try to improve Gary?" so people would want to come to our city and not leave it.
