Its time for artists in South Bend to thrive.
We’re just getting started…and we need you to participate!
The South Bend Artists' Alliance is a nonprofit 501(c)3 formed to represent independent artists and grassroots arts organizations and to ensure the sustainability of the arts community through education, programming, workshopping, networking, and helping pair artists with fiscal sponsorships. We aim to provide access to information and an access point to funding through grants, donations, and optional membership.
Please consider helping the SBAA by spreading the word or donating ideas, time, or $$
With easier access and some time and assistance, creatives can focus on their craft and continue to add a necessary flavor of life and beauty to our community.
