Memberships
Engaging with the arts is essential to human experience.
For over 75 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.
Benefits
- As a member of SBMA, you will receive a discount on our classes through our studio program.
- Members are the first to experience new exhibitions and be invited to our events.
- With our premier and patron level, members are able to receive reciprocal benefits to over 900 museums across the nation and abroad.

A Letter from the Director
Dear Friends,
2022 marked the South Bend Museum of Art’s 75th year of serving our communities. We are proud of the role we play in building the foundations for a healthy community. In my short time here, listening to our members, our visitors, our faculty, our students, our board members, and our staff, I hear and see our SBMA communities thriving.
From our passionate ceramics studio artists to the Ekphrastic poetry event to over one thousand 5th grade visitors, I hear and see how engaging with our collections and exhibitions, practicing art, and teaching art is transforming individuals through their engagement with others–a peer, a teacher, a staff member, a stranger.
Art is at the heart of these conversations. I am asking each of you to support our future through membership and corporate and individual sponsorship.
Join the movement! As a free museum, SBMA relies on the generosity of those passionate about art for support.
Thank you for your support, Lisa Shaffer
