Heat Light Water Project

 Today:  we find out more about a cultural project in Gary that is moving into its next phase, getting involved in the saving of a bit of Gary city history. The “Heat Light Water Project” takes its name from the former General Services Building, which – when it was built in 1926 – was known as the “Heat Light Water Company.”  Jan Tichy is a Chicago-based artist who, along with his colleagues, believe that – just as heat, light and water are essential to life -- so are art and culture essential to any society.
