Minneapolis Cultural Districts: Get Drawn In

Some of Minneapolis’s best art shows up on sidewalks, building facades, and in parks. The seven Minneapolis Cultural Districts are living galleries, filled with murals, mosaics, sculptures, and community-made work that tells the story of each neighborhood. On West Broadway, Juxtaposition Arts brings color and energy with its mural and community skate park. East Lake Street is lined with some of the most vibrant murals in the city, while Cedar, Central, and 38th Street showcase their own visual surprises. Every corner is an invitation to slow down, look up, and notice.
