As the cooler breezes of fall make their way to the Lake Michigan shores, the crew at the New Territory Arts Association in the Benton Harbor Arts District hope you’ll make plans to join them for their Annual Fall Art Hop coming on Friday, October 18th from 6 to 9pm.
The Fall Art Hop features great art, music, food, shops, drinks, fun and friends and is always one of the most popular hops of the year. You are invited to browse the Arts District, meet some cool artists, see fantastic artwork, sample food and drink, visit businesses and enjoy all of the good the District offers.
Arts District venues include Water Street Glassworks, The Phoenix Coffeeshop, The GhostLight Theater, 210 Art Space, The Livery, 3 Pillars Music, Houndstooth Restaurant, The OutCenter, Benton Harbor Public Library, The Collective, The Hawks Nest, Citadel Dance & Music Center and more.
