The public health crisis caused by the Coronavirus, COVID-19, is impacting our entire community. The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District is where people engage in social and cultural public events, art, musical and theatrical events, art making, working, manufacturing, communing over food and drink, happy hour gatherings, shopping, worshiping, learning, playing, and many more social and physical activities.
These activities form the lifeblood of our community. Everyone and everything is impacted. Never have we had such a reminder that we are all interconnected and need each other.
Below is a list of rapidly developing resources that may be of use to our community. This is not a complete list and we will continue to add to the list as things develop and change.
Please help add to this list…
