Find and get around the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. The maps showcase the 17 art buildings and show where to find public art throughout the District.
Find the Arts District from the Airport and Downtown. There are multiple ways to travel to and in the Arts, including biking, walking, public transit, and driving. One of the essential parts of the map was having a more up-to-date public art locator. We know a lot of people are looking to explore outdoor public art. The map above includes some of those features.
We commissioned these maps to be tools for the AD to help bring more visitors to the AD from places like the MSP International Airport (see contextual map further below this article), as we will continue to have art exhibits in the Arts@MSP program for years to come.
We encourage artists and businesses to download these maps for your use on your websites to continue to build awareness of the Arts District, where it is and what is in it.
These Northeast Minneapolis Arts District maps truly help visualize its size and scale. When we tell people there are 17 art buildings and 1200 plus artists, the arts district can come off as an abstract idea that one can not truly visualize – The Arts District is a sprawling square-mile campus. With these maps, we are working to create a more tangible tool for the arts community to utilize. These maps will be part of the Welcome Center in large format, 8'x 8′, for visitors to view.
The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District commissioned Nat Case of INCase, LLC to design a series of maps to help define the Arts District both for people to find the Arts District and understand what is in it.
