Creating Community

ADP Leaders

Arts District Palette is an ACW project focused on developing relationships in our NE Arts District community.  Partnering with NEMAA , The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, The Northeaster, The Huxley apartments,  and Sociable Cider Werks, ACW will develop May Day welcome swag bags stuffed with 20 artists’ works, gifts from local businesses and an invitation to an outside pop-up art event in August where the new NE residents and artists will mix socially distanced.

Welcome May Day Tote Bag for our new Huxley neighbors. Black two sided with logos.

ACW was thrilled to receive so many outstanding submissions for the Arts District Palette project.  Three jurors chose the following artists to have 12 works commissioned by the Huxley Apartments.  The lucky residents of this new apartment complex in Northeast Minneapolis will get to choose two pieces from this collection of local artists.  The art ranges from ceramic rattles to landscape paintings to collage to mixed media art.  There will certainly be something for everyone.  We are excited to introduce these artists to new art collectors that will be our forever fans! Judges:  Abby Ross, Sally Gibson, Mike Schardin.
