02/11/2026

Events

Arts Advocacy Day at the Minnesota Capitol is just 20 days away (March 3rd), and the decisions being made now will shape arts funding for years to come. Lawmakers need to see and hear from the people who care about creativity, culture, economic impact, and strong communities. Every voice matters, and turnout makes the difference. Don’t sit this one out. Join us at the Capitol and help secure the future of the arts in Minnesota.
