Minneapolis Creative Index

Every few years we undertake a comprehensive study into the city’s creative sector. We examine its scale, impact, gaps and opportunities, and we look at how the sector’s revenues and workforce contribute to Minneapolis’ overall economic growth.

We publish our findings in the Minneapolis Creative Index report, which contains up-to-date economic and demographic data. Each report also includes an in-depth examination into a specific facet of the creative economy. 

In 2018, our most recent report, we dove into the issue of creative workspace and came out with an understanding of where and in what kinds of spaces creative individuals and organizations do their work. We also gained insight into how the City can support creative workspace through economic and land use planning.
