Thank you
Thank you for support in 2026 to the Cultural Districts Arts Fund activation which is funded, in part, by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department. Thank you to the MN State Arts Board: This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. And thank you to the MN Humanities Center for their support. We also acknowledge the many volunteers and individual donors that helped make these programs possible.
