Those who have followed the history of NEMAA (Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association) and the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District might be pleased to know that the two organization’s leadership boards had a joint picnic in August at Logan Park.
Many of board members have known each other for decades. For others this was the first time they had met each other. The groups learned about each organization’s goals and explored ways to support each other’s projects and concerns. Those include sponsoring ways to gather community opinion on Mayor Jacob Frey’s budget for Central Avenue as a cultural corridor, and development/density in general.
The two groups will help promote each other’s programming and work to streamline communication between the two organizations.
