The Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) strengthens and supports the local artist community with resources, promotion, and fellowship. Centered in Northeast Minneapolis, NEMAA serves working artists in Minneapolis and in geographically and artistically adjacent communities.
Founded in 1997 by an artist collective, NEMAA has over one thousand members and is best known for producing Art-A-Whirl – the largest annual artist open studio tour in the nation. This event makes art and artists accessible to an ever-widening audience, both locally and beyond the Twin Cities.
