ABOUT NORTHEAST:

The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District includes a vast number of artist studios, art galleries and performance spaces embedded in a unique neighborhood distinguished by quaint homes and family-run businesses, rail yards and industry, kitschy watering holes and diverse restaurants. Many of the area's old industrial buildings have been re-purposed as working spaces for over 400 artists.

Regular art events characterize the 'scene' in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District including Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association's "Art-A-Whirl" each spring – the region's largest 3-day open studio and gallery tour, and NEMAA's Fall Fine Arts Show in September. In November, Northrup King Building presents "Art Attack," and the Casket Arts Quad presents "Cache," open studio events that are held for three days.

In addition, each month the public can visit numerous galleries and studios during First Thursdays, First Fridays, and Second Saturdays in the Arts District, when much of this working district opens its doors.
