The Lubeznik Center for the Arts provides access to exhibitions and programs that explore contemporary ideas. In 1978, the John G. Blank Art Center was established in Michigan City. In 2003, Jack and Shirley Lubeznik, local residents, donated the current building for the growing art center, which was then renamed The Lubeznik Center for the Arts.
