2ND ANNUAL ARTIST EXHIBITION AT BBE HQ

The 2nd Annual Artist Exhibition at BBE HQ returns to downtown Minneapolis on Thursday, March 26, 2026, transforming the Black Business Enterprises headquarters into a vibrant, community-centered gallery experience. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural exhibition, this year’s event is bigger, bolder, and more immersive — spotlighting local, BIPOC, emerging, and early-career artists whose work reflects culture, identity, resilience, and creative expression.

Guests will experience an evening of visual art, connection, and celebration as BBE HQ becomes an activated storefront and gathering space for artists, creatives, neighbors, and downtown visitors. The exhibition invites the public to engage directly with artists, explore original works, and experience how art can reimagine and revitalize shared spaces.

Celebrate diversity. Elevate new voices. Reimagine downtown through art.
