It has been seven years since the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District officially became a non-profit organization. Standing on its own two feet it crafted a mission statement for the time.
|
As the Arts District board has developed, it has grown to understand what is needed and wanted from its community, especially in light of the December 2020 merger with the Northeast Community Development Corporation which had served as our fiscal sponsor. While we are always learning and will change over time, board members, after much discussion, formalized a more succinct mission statement that works to capture the essence of what the board sees as its work. The new mission statement:
|
To catalyze the innovative spirit of artists through generative community arts development.
|
|
Please spend some time reflecting on the words we chose and see how it speaks to you and how you hope the Arts District board can best serve the artists and arts community. We look forward to our continued service to be a strong voice for the arts in Northeast with this mission statement to guide us.

|

|
Minneapolis city government set transparency and one-stop-shop goals for its new Public Service Center.
