Vision
Mission
"Understanding and acknowledging the incredible economic impact of arts and culture, we must always remember their fundamental value. They foster beauty, creativity, originality, and vitality. The arts inspire us, sooth us, provoke us, involve us, and connect us. But they also create jobs and contribute to the economy."
—Robert L. Lynch President and CEO Americans for the Arts
The Miller Beach Arts & Creative District endeavors to create a diverse, welcoming and vibrant cultural destination for the visual, performing and culinary arts as a catalyst for community regeneration, sustainability and enriched quality of life.
The Miller Beach Arts & Creative District is committed to creating a district centered around Lake Street that promotes art, culture, creativity and economic development for community transformation. The stunning location of the district on Lake Michigan’s southern beaches, surrounded by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Park, provides an exceptional and unique environment for this effort.
