South Shore Arts has been improving the quality of life along the South Shore for over 80 years. It all started in the hat department of the Minas Department Store in downtown Hammond, Indiana with an annual exhibit of regional artists, known today as the Annual Salon Show.
Located in the Center for Visual and Performing Arts, in Munster, Indiana, South Shore Arts has one branch location at Substation No. 9, an inner-city art center in downtown Hammond. South Shore Arts offers quality exhibitions, programming, education programming and outreach in Northwest Indiana.

435 Fayette Street, Hammond, IN
Drawing from personal experiences, the featured artists explore the emotional terrain shaped by changing perspectives and the passage of time. With over 20 works in various media, Momentary offers a poignant meditation on fleeting joy, memory, and the quiet sorrow that often comes with change. The exhibition captures warmth, longing, and the uncertainty of the future with sensitivity and depth. Ultimately, Momentary is a tribute to the evolving nature of memory—how it shifts as we grow and move forward—encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and perhaps recognize echoes of their own stories in the work.
Substation No. 9 is open Mondays 5–8pm and Saturdays 10am–2pm
