To create a vital Benton Harbor Arts District through community outreach and advocacy of the arts.
The New Territory Arts Association
Benton Harbor, MI
Founded in 1998 in order to develop and promote The Benton Harbor Arts District, the
New Territory Arts Association is a grassroots organization dedicated to the revitalization
of Benton Harbor through the Arts. The NTAA has been responsible for many
special district events including the annual Arts District Banner Projects, The Fall Festival
of the Arts, the NTAA Mural Project, and the Benton Harbor City Market. The
New Territory Arts Association Scholarship Fund provides assistance with art education
for community youth by helping with tuition for classes at The Citadel Dance
Center, Water Street Glasswork's "Fired Up!" program, and other regional art education
curricula. The NTAA also sponsors The Benton Harbor Children's Art Fair and
other area arts related programs.

, but their sound is a bit removed from Sponge\'s radio-friendly rock. They play a twisted version of Detroit cowpunk that blends roots rock with a solid dose of punk attitude.<p>Vinnie and company are notorious for their sweaty, high-energy live shows, chock full of gritty dirty rock with a Southern twang and a Motor City Feel. It\'s kind of like a late-night road trip to Kentucky from Detroit on a steamy night, with the windows down and the radio up.<p>A fine way to celebrate 2008\'s extra day!','www.myspace.com/orbitsuns')){kind=link}
