Art Beat 2015 is just around the corner- in 3 weeks from tomorrow! The streets of downtown South Bend will be transformed into a live interactive gallery filled with artists, musicians, dancers, actors, chefs, and more!
Together we will create a successful event packed full of fun and profit! As coordinators of the event we will keep you informed by sending you weekly newsletters with reminders, suggestions and directions.
Art Beat will run from Noon- 8pm. We expect all artists to remain open until the end of Art Beat at 8:00 pm. This gives all visitors a consistent experience and you receive the most exposure possible.
We are thrilled to have you as a part of Art Beat 2015 and look forward to having a great event!
