Cultural Arts Center Campus Expansion

Site

To support its mission and achieve its long-term vision, Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA) pursued a multi-phased development of a cultural arts center on the 1100 block of West Broadway.  The arts center is a place where emerging youth and adult artists from the North side and throughout the Twin Cities region can access various forms of urban expression, fine arts, and creative opportunities.  The center is a visible symbol of community reinvestment and a powerful catalyst for the revitalization of North Minneapolis’ key commercial corridor.
