SBMA See. Belong. Make Art
SBMA Vision: “Enriching the human spirit and connecting people through art.”
Engaging with the arts is essential to the human experience, especially during challenging times like we are experiencing now. For over 70 years, the South Bend Museum of Art has provided art experiences at low or no cost to all who want to partake. The arts are a catalyst for self-reflection, challenging participants with different points of view, and compelling them to empathize with others. SBMA is poised to serve adults and youth with creative and stimulating experiences, be it through our hands-on educational programs, diverse exhibitions, or strong experiential events and classes. Artists also find strong support from SBMA through exhibition and sales opportunities, making the South Bend Museum of Art the community’s one-stop provider for immersion in the visual arts.
