Minnesota Creative Neighbors

Minnesota creative community directory

Meet your creative neighbors.

Creativity is a job. Especially here in Minnesota, where music, media, fine arts, design, theater, creative writing, and more make up a $13.8 billion industry and employ more than 138,000 artists and creative workers. In fact, the arts and culture sector ranks among the largest industries in the state. Source: Creative Minnesota, 2025 ↗

Still, it can be hard to know where to start. MinnesotaCreativeNeighbors is a database designed to help illustrate that the creative economy is already around you: the gallery on the corner, the theater that needs a run crew, the design studio that reviews student portfolios, the venue down the street. Find the museums, theaters, studios, agencies, presses, bookstores and music businesses near you, then go introduce yourself.
