History

MPLSART.COM was founded in 2005 by designer/curator, Emma Berg. She saw a need for a consolidated, curated listing of important art events in the Twin Cities. In 2006, Emma was joined by fellow arts advocate, Kristoffer Knutson. Together, they ran the site and curated a host of exhibits and creativity-infused events. It was a work of passion, blood, sweat, and so on.

Ten years after the original launch, MPLSART.COM lives on under Blaine and Katie Garrett. The new owners are driven by sincere devotion to promoting the local scene and building a more sustainable arts community. MPLSART continues to be a platform for event listings, discussions, artist promotion, and celebrating local success.
