Community Life
We invite you to take a look at the "Community Life" feature of the Artspace website. Artspace buildings are lively, vital artist communities and our intention here is to offer a glimpse of the building-wide events and community activities happening in Artspace projects across the country.
Art Party! A community celebration draws a crowd
Dancers, musicians, food, wine, and art sound like a party? On September 7, Artspace hosted a unique community event "called Art Party" in collaboration with Art Holdings, a Minneapolis art source firm.
Nearly 200 people visited the Art Holdings showroom to mingle with one another and view the artwork of 34 visual artists who live or work in Artspace's Minnesota projects. Performing artists provided entertainment for the evening through music and dance.
Art Party was a great opportunity to bring together the individual donors who suppor the organization and artists from around the state. It was made possible by sponsorship by law firm Halleland Lewis Nilan & Johnson and Macy's Design Catering. Roepke & Associates provided public relations efforts.
We are especially thankful to Art Holdings, who provided the space for the event and organized the display of all the artwork. We hope to host more events like this in the future.
