Its name sounds as mundane as white bread, but rest assured, Box Factory for the Arts is an eclectic art wonderland. The St. Joseph, Mich., staple, which serves as home to about 40 artist studios and galleries, recently celebrated its 20th birthday. Longtime members, new guests and friends of the arts — young and old — donned party apparel for the revelry that included beautiful music from Boulevard Bil- lies and N’er Do Wells, who combined their talents for the evening. The event also featured delicious

treats from local restaurants and, of course, the co- lossus creative energy that runs through the 55,000 square feet of history known formerly as the Wil- liams Brothers Paper Box Factory. “Times haven’t always been easy, money has most always been tight, but we have been able to turn this into a place that prides itself on nurturing the arts and creativity,” Box Factory board president Laura Goos said. Goos stressed the importance of the word “nurturing,” saying it’s signiﬁ cant because it embodies the feeling that encompasses visits to Box Factory. THE December 3, 2015 Page 21 The Berrien Artist Guild bought the historic factory in 1995. The massive space is multi- purpose. In addition to artist galleries and workspace, it serves as an arts center for performances, classes and other cultural events. The space is open to the public 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST Monday through Saturday. “Most people talk about the ‘vibe’ — it’s different at the Box Factory — casual, warm, invit- ing, friendly — I’ve heard all of these words to describe it,” Goos said. “And we can thank those that made that happen as we build on our incredible journey to an amazing future.” Goos promised the future holds many inclusive opportunities not only for local artists, but for the greater community. feel nurtured, to feel creative and to explore their “We want to be a unique place for all to come and own art or that of others,” she said. Board member Erica Griessel said the birthday bash was a fun showcase for the different elements that make Box Factory what it is. “There are so many unique qualities to the Box Factory that the Birthday Bash was a way people could become aware of all that it offers to our community, but also remind and celebrate these great things with those already familiar with it,” she said. “The business sponsorships and donations for the silent auctions and rafﬂ e prizes made this event a partnership between our community businesses and the Box Factory — all with the mission of building the arts in our fabulous community. It’s so much more fun when it’s a collaborative effort.” (Box Factory for the Arts is located at 1101 Broad St. Visit www.boxfactoryforthearts.org information.)
