Cultural Districts Arts Fund Initiative: Community Engagement & Advancing the 2040 Plan
Artists are more than creators—they are community members, business owners, and advocates who bring diverse perspectives to city planning. As Minneapolis implements its 2040 Plan, how do we ensure artists needs are met? This session will explore the vital role of artists in shaping inclusive programs in cultural investment that are site-responsive and unique to our neighborhood.

Cultural Districts Arts Fund Initiative: Walking Tour & Visioning the Future for Artists & Community
Join us for an interactive walking tour along the corridor to explore opportunities for a transformed commercial landscape that truly serves artists and the broader community. We’ll examine the lack of continuity in commercial ownership, discuss barriers to artist-led business development, and envision what meaningful, long-term change could look like in one, three, or five years. Who are the key decision-makers in this process? What would it take to make a more artist-friendly corridor a reality? Let’s walk, talk, and strategize together.
