ABOUT THE STURGIS
COUNCIL OF THE ARTS
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. Supporting the
arts solely through private and corporate donations, Council strives
to fulfill its mission of making the arts and humanities available
to the Sturgis area and to foster participation in and encourage greater
awareness of the arts.
