Starke Community

an original poster by Mitchell A. Markovitz

The second in the Starke Beauty poster series by Mitchell A. Markovitz, Starke Community depicts the casual, friendly small-town atmosphere of life in Starke County. In the early autumn, sunset makes a golden glow on the foliage of the black oaks of the historic Quality Hill neighborhood in North Judson. Artist Markovitz describes the feeling of the scene, saying 'the kids are coming home from school with thoughts of cookies and cocoa'.

The Starke Community poster was commissioned by the Starke County Community Foundation as part of the Starke County's coordinated campaign to create public awareness of the pleasures and advantages of living, working and playing in Starke County, Indiana. Find out more about the campaign by visiting Explore Starke County, the official web site of the Starke County Tourism Commission and StarkeCounty.com, the official web site of the Starke County Development Foundation.
