The Benton Harbor Arts Association was founded in 1998 by a group of passionate community members and local business owners to promote a vibrant Benton Harbor Arts District. Our quarterly Art Hops and events like the Youth Art Fair and Artoberfest have brought thousands of people to the Arts District over the years. With our platform we believe in promoting, supporting, and funding local art. Our events highlight incredibly talented and passionate local artists and artisans as well as the businesses that populate the Arts District. It is these kind of partnerships that help us continue to fund and help coordinate the creation of murals throughout the Arts District and beyond. If you would like to help us continue our work, check out the links below to make a donation or become a volunteer with us!
