Mission:

The Sturgis Council of the Arts strives to fulfill its mission of making the arts and humanities available to the Sturgis area by encouraging participation in and increasing the awareness of the arts through a wide variety of programs for both students and adults. The Sturgis Council of the Arts is funded solely through private and community donations.

Our History:

In 1974 the Sturgis Council of the Arts was established; and through the generosity of Flora Kirsch Beck, who recognized the value of the arts to a community, an endowment was given to the City of Sturgis for the Council's work. This endowment, along with others, are now within the Sturgis Area Community Foundation.
