ABOUT GARY ARCH CONCEPTS

A series of civic + public initiatives called GARY ARCH CONCEPTS serve as a CALL TO ACTION that mobilizes efforts to save and bring awareness of the remaining Edison Concept Homes, and other Gary-based built structures and monuments. Many of these historic and architecturally significant sites are derelict, unoccupied for years, no longer standing, or presently threatened by imminent demolition.

• GARY ARCH CONCEPTS believes these structures serve as a significant social and cultural reference point for past, present, and future generations.

• GARY ARCH CONCEPTS recognizes the power of the arts to transform communities and generate curiosity and excitement.

• GARY ARCH CONCEPTS explores opportunities to engage stakeholders with stimulating programming and meaningful projects.

• GARY ARCH CONCEPTS does this by reinterpreting and re-envisioning the Edison Concept Homes and other built environment structures in new ways by offering experiences with architecture, connecting with people, and creating social, economic, and cultural value.
