A wonderful resource for current art exhibits is the Krasl Art Museum. Its annual Art Fair draws large crowds of exhibitors and shoppers from throughout the country. Located in the heart of St. Joseph, the Krasl Art Museum is home to numerous exhibitions including collections from the Smithsonian Institute of the Arts. In fact, the Krasl has played an important role in serving St. Joseph's SculpTour. (For more info on the SculpTour call (269) 983-0271.)
Included in the SculpTour is the St. Joseph Salute. Located in the Pleasant Street Plaza, the sculpture was a gift to the city from a group of citywide corporate and private donors. With its cutouts of athletic figures the sculptor is a celebration of St. Joseph and its beaches.
St. Joseph was established as the county seat of Berrien County shortly after the creation of this government unit. But as with most history, the story does not end here. The County seat has traveled extensively; starting in Niles, then to St. Joseph, then to Berrien Springs, and finally back to St. Joseph where it exists today.
This concludes the "virtual tour" of St. Joseph. As you can see, there are many reasons why we are so proud to call St. Joseph our home. To really experience the beauty and the history of our area, it is best to visit in person. There is nothing like a summer sunset shared with family or close friends.
