I share a studio/gallery space called Studiopolis with eight established artists in the
Northrup King Building. The Northrup King Building is a working warehouse on the bottom level, with artist spaces on the upper three floors. It is a great, solid building for the crazy stuff that artists do, and there are elements of the past at every turn - scary old freight elevators, signs that remind the seed workers of the past of the rules, and a charming vintage water tower on top of the building. The Northrup King Building is the hub of art events in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District.
Studiopolis (#423) participates in the First Thursdays open studio evening each month (5-9 p.m.), as well as the major annual art crawls called Art Attack (November) and Art-A-Whirl (May).

Easy Driving Directions
From Downtown Minneapolis, take Hennepin Avenue over the river into Northeast Minneapolis.* Pass St. Anthony Main and continue past Surdyk's. At Central Avenue, take a left. Cross over Broadway. When you see the Ideal Diner on your left, you will know that you are about to turn. Take a left onto 14th. Take your first right, and park. Enter the main entrance that says "Northrup King Building," and come on up to the 4th floor to say "Hi" :)

*Although the speed of traffic is often 40 - 45 mph, the speed limit in this area is 30 mph. This is especially important on the bridge going over the Mississippi into Northeast, and west on Broadway toward Broadway Pizza. There is a reason I'm telling you this! ;)
