The Influence of Art in our Social, Physical, and Economic Future: Creative Placemaking in Minneapolis
Friday, May 30, 12-1pm
Butter Bakery Café, 3700 Nicollet
In 2013, three Minneapolis organizations received ArtPlace grants to support their work in connecting community and art. Pillsbury House + Theater featured 20 projects in one year by local artists on Chicago Avenue. Intermedia Arts and the City of Minneapolis partnered to embed artists in the city’s planning and development project process. And the Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI) worked to improve a light rail station as the front door to the Native American Cultural Corridor. Â
We welcome Noel Raymond of Pillsbury House + Theater, Theresa Sweetland of Intermedia Arts, and Jay Bad Heart Bull and Andy Hestness of NACDI, to talk about the impact of ArtPlace grants and the planned projects. What has been the impact of the ArtPlace grant? How, if at all, have these organizations changed their approach to connecting arts and community? What work is left undone?
Please join us for a great discussion of the intersection of arts and community! Arrive early, grab some lunch or a treat, and settle in for an exciting program that will begin promptly at 12 noon.
