Curate South Bend is a community organization committed to the vibrancy and growth of the arts culture in South Bend, IN. Our mission is to promote the economic and cultural development of the South Bend area and make it easier for everyone to explore our diverse and ever expanding arts community. Curate South Bend will be launching a comprehensive directory for the visual arts of curated informat
ion on upcoming shows, exhibitions, museums, artist studios and galleries from all over the city. We are building a map to connect and promote our artistic community, which will be launched in June during BEST.WEEK.EVER. We expect this group to continue to expand. If you are an interested gallery, studio space, an exhibition space, or an arts event in South Bend please contact us at [email protected]. This page began as the SBSB page, which provided event/musician/band support year round. SBSB also hosted a grass roots music festival celebrating live original music in the aggressively growing Midwest cultural center, South Bend, IN. Co-Administrators Gus Bennett and Dena Woods put on the inaugural South By South Bend in 2013 with love and trust from 26 local and regional acts, 7 downtown venues, and the City of South Bend over the course of two days. The music festival, one of the city's highlights, happened the beginning of May every year. SBSB's last event in 2015 featured over 20 venues, 50 bands, and 3 South Bend neighborhoods over the course of 3 days.
