Northeast Influential

What is Northeast Influential?

The Northeast Influential artist potluck picnic is an opportunity for all artists who live and work in Northeast to get out of the studio on Summer Solstice and come together in celebration of all things NE arts!

The inaugural picnic was launched in 2017 by the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. Artists along with their family and friends gather at a local park to meet one another and celebrate the culture that we all belong to and work so hard to cultivate. In 2019, Northeast Influential relocated to the California Building.  Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share. Grills are available.

We look forward to sharing an evening of food and camaraderie with you as we continue to strengthen our NE arts community!

Please help spread the word to NE artists and supporters!
