ARS Gallery

ARS Gallery was established in 2010 in the heart of Benton Harbor's rapidly growing Arts District. We are dedicated to educating children and adults, alike in the area of the visual and cultural arts. Under the direction of owner Anna Russo Sieber, ARS Gallery manifests this commitment by presenting exhibitions of both emerging and established contemporary artists; by offering educational programs that encourage a deeper understanding and enjoyment of a variety of artistic media; and by providing scholarships for summer and after school arts programming to economically disadvantaged youth.

Past exhibitions have included artists such as Dave Wilkinson, Lynne Tan & Matt Sieber, Meaghan Burritt, Foster Willey Jr., Matt Payovich, John Sauve, and Susan Henshaw & Greta Hurst.
