Art-A-Whirl...where it all started!
In 1980 the California Building became the first art studio building
in Northeast Minneapolis. A former grain mill turned studio building holds working space
for emerging, mid and late career artists in a variety of disciplines.
The building owners, John Kremer & Jennifer Young have a long commitment to arts,
community & arts sustainability in Northeast Minneapolis.
