art-a-whirl

Such a cool event!  Art-A-Whirl is the largest open-studio tour in the country. It’s a great opportunity to tour private artist studios and galleries, connect with the artists, and purchase original artwork.
Open to the public, Art-A-Whirl is free and takes place annually in Northeast Minneapolis, the third weekend of May.  Visit studios by foot, trolley, or taxi bike. Stop at local restaurants and listen to live music between buildings. 
Fun times!  http://nemaa.org/art-a-whirl
