Rental Info

The South Haven Center for the Arts was renovated by hundreds of volunteers between 1984 and 1990. It was built in 1905 as a Carnegie Library. The books were housed in the upper gallery while the lower art gallery was the meeting place of the Grand Army of the Republic, which donated the land for building.

Today the Center is the site of many public concerts, classes, art shows and events.

The upper gallery is an open room with large windows and high ceilings, providing an elegant location for special events of up to 70 people for dinner or more for a casual reception.
