Dear reader,
Sorry everyone we had the wrong voting link. It has been updated to the correct place to vote.

The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District has been nominated for the 4th year in a row to be the Best Arts District in the country. We are reigning champions for the past two years (2022, 2023) and came in second in 2021. Cleveland and Dallas have been our top rivals for the distinction. We expect they will be trying hard to unseat us. Let's defend our title!

Being able to promote you are part of the Best Arts District in the country at events like Art-A-Whirl® and monthly arts events is great to help encourage people to visit your studio, business or organization. The award is a tool that can help your sales and opportunities for your art career. Please join in the vote!

What you can do:
  1. Vote daily, starting today!
  2. Share your vote with your art on social media
  3. Encourage your friends and family to vote too!
  4. Repeat daily until voting ends on Monday, February 19th at 11:59am EST.

Why is this important?
Arts are central to quality of life and hold the keys to understanding each other, education, and even jobs. Winning an award like Best Arts District helps our arts community earn a place at every table where the future of arts is on the menu.
Want some Arts District bling? Send your friends and family to pick up bumper stickers and posters at Clay Squared to Infinity, 2505 Howard St. NE. Volunteers are needed to bring table tents and posters out to friendly businesses as soon as they're available, stop in to Clay Squared to volunteer.

The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District (NE-AD) is officially designated as an Arts District by the City of Minneapolis. NE-AD’s Board of Directors was established in 2014 and merged December 30, 2020 with Northeast Community Development Corporation.
