🌟 Staff Pick: Hidden Gem! 🌟
We’re celebrating Rolanda Hudson, our Visitor Information Specialist at the Chicago Southland Visitor Information Center at the Chicago Southland Lincoln Oasis, on 5 years with Visit Chicago Southland! 🎉
Rolanda’s Chicago Southland Hidden Gem:

🎨 The Visual Arts Gallery, Governors State University

“The Visual Arts Gallery at Governors State University is a place where I truly feel at peace and connected to the artistic environment. I enjoy imagining what artists are trying to communicate through their work and how the gallery inspires my own creative process. As an artist myself, I love creating artwork using innovative 3D techniques and unique materials to create immersive experiences. The gallery feels like a place where you truly belong.”

Thank you, Rolanda, for five years of welcoming visitors to the Chicago Southland and sharing your passion for the arts with us! We’re so glad this creative hidden gem has a special place in your heart. ❤️
