We invite you to celebrate recent milestones in the Arts District Welcome Center’s Minneapolis
Arts History Project.
Milestones include:

  • Stories added to the Arts District Welcome Center’s second timeline history exhibit,
    Origins: How the Minneapolis Arts Spotlight shifted From Downtown to Northeast.
  • Complefon of 11 oral histories.
  • Launch of the Arts District Digital Archive’s history collection.
    Together, these efforts honor the people, stories, and experiences that have shaped the
