The South Bend Museum of Art is a regional cultural institution in South Bend, Indiana, dedicated to exhibitions, programs, and hands-on studio arts experiences. Founded in 1947, it preserves a collection that emphasizes regional art from the nineteenth century to the present and operates within the Century Center complex on the St. Joseph River. The museum supports contemporary artists and community access through its studios for ceramics, weaving, painting, and photography, guided by a commitment to inclusiveness under the See, Belong, Make, Art framework. It serves residents and regional artists with a program of major exhibitions each year, alongside educational programs and classes that invite broad participation. A recent development is a collaborative initiative in 2024 with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra and Morris Performing Arts Center to deliver a multi-sensory artistic experience across the city.
