Year: 2026

Art became a bridge of hope as Alight brought artists and community together to support refugee and immigrant families through creativity.

The 32nd International Sculpture Conference will be in Minneapolis October 22–25. Artists, Curators, Educators, and Arts Leaders from Around the World Will Gather in the Twin Cities for Four Days of Dialogue, Discovery, and Celebration.

Artists are invited to submit vibrant images that capture the creativity, character, and community spirit of Northeast Minneapolis for the 2027 calendar.

This month’s highlights include Independence Day resistance printing at the Grainbelt Warehouse, a free weaving workshop at the Flux Arts Building, Birds by Melissa Borman, Snack and Squish at Clay Squared to Infinity, Sway by Alexandra Beaumont, and monthly open studios across the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District.

The interactive “Sparcle” project transformed Art-A-Whirl® visitors into living works of art, inviting participants to become part of a playful, evolving creative experience shaped through public interaction and imagination.

Leaders from the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District traveled to Washington, D.C. to join national conversations about the future of the arts, creative economies, and the role of cultural districts in shaping community life.

Ultimately, the right-of-way concept for Quincy Street is a made-up issue to fit the narrative they want to meet.

The current visual installation designed by Rosy Simas (Seneca Nation of Indians, Heron Clan) is a culmination of her two-year Walker Art Center Residency
