History, Mission and Purpose:

The New Territory Arts Association (NTAA) was founded in 1998 to create a vital Benton Harbor Arts District through community outreach and advocacy of the arts. We are  a 501(c)(3) grassroots organization dedicated to the revitalization of the Benton Harbor Arts District with a firm belief that “Art Builds Community.”

Donations and NTAA membership dues help us organize special and annual events that further our mission. We also provide financial assistance in the form of grants and scholarships for various art education programs and events for community youth.
