Art-A-Whirl is the largest open studio tour in the country, which happens annually throughout NE Minneapolis the third weekend of May. Each year, DAP displays art from Minnesota locals that speaks to resiliency, healing and domestic violence, interactive art projects to show support for those impacted by domestic violence, as well as provide domestic violence resources + information for the public.
DAP is located in the Waterbury Building in NE Minneapolis and is open to the public! We will be open on May 17th from 5-10PM and May 18th from Noon-6PM.
More about Art-A-Whirl from the Northeast Minneapolis Artists Association (NEMAA): Over 1,200 NEMAA member artists, galleries, and businesses participate across all of Northeast Minneapolis at over 80 locations. Art-A-Whirl is a fantastic way to connect with artists in their own spaces, enjoy demonstrations and interactive activities, listen to live music, and enjoy local restaurants and breweries. Art-A-Whirl is free and open to the public.
