Krasl Art Center

Krasl Art Center is a non-profit art centre in downtown St. Joseph, Michigan, serving residents and visitors of south-west Michigan with art exhibitions, installations, events and art education. Its campus and the wider community display contemporary sculpture on a permanent and rotating basis, including works by Dale Chihuly, Richard Hunt and George Rickey. The outdoor public art is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The centre runs year-round youth and adult education programmes: classes, camps, guest-artist workshops and outreach in media ranging from drawing, painting and photography to stop-motion animation, ceramics and sculpture. Each July it stages the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff at Lake Bluff Park, and it also maintains the Richard Hunt Studio Center in Benton Harbor, a community resource honouring the legacy of the American sculptor.

As a non-profit, the organisation relies on the support of donors, volunteers and members, and states a mission of making art accessible to all. Work is organised around arts and culture, art education, public art and community events across south-west Michigan.
