Headquartered in Benson, BFF is dedicated to building community through arts engagement. We support the arts & our community through Advocacy, Education, Inclusion, Opportunity, and Unique experiences (AEIOU). Since 2012, we have provided a social infrastructure that is integral to the community’s well being and supportive of local artists, businesses, residents, commerce, and the environment through interactive art programs. BFF's major programs are year-round monthly First Fridays, All-ages Education, Petshop Galleries & Studios, MaMO Gallery, Green Team (Environmental Sustainability), public art projects, BFF Gallery, Trudy’s Artist Studios, and management of the Benson Creative District.
