Minnesota Artists
If you're drawn to the arts, you can spend much time enjoying Minnesota's offerings - art museums; symphony and jazz concerts; dance; opera; musicals and Broadway touring shows.
In fact, the Twin Cities is one of the most vibrant performing arts communities outside of New York City. Beyond such metropolitan attractions, the stories of Minnesota's past come to life at intriguing historic sites and ethnic festivals celebrate the state's rich cultural heritage.
There are also more than 30,000 artists in Minnesota, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", and through many arts programs and shear creativity, this community continues to grow - artistic inspiration is abundant.

Minnesota Marine Art Museum
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum currently features four major art collections, making it a regional and national attraction.
The Burrichter-Kierlin Marine Art Collection, on loan to the museum, features oil paintings, watercolors and three-dimensional marine art objects from a variety of countries and periods created by many of the world's most important marine artists.
The Leo and Marilyn Smith Folk Art Collection consists of distinctive wood carved and hand painted sculptures that capture the spirit of small town river life.
A collection of photographs and maps by Henry Peter Bosse reflect 19th century Mississippi River life and landscapes.
The museum is expanding with the addition of a large gallery and multi-purpose room scheduled to open May 2009. The new gallery will feature more than 70 Hudson River School and Impressionism paintings.
Festival of Nations
Celebrating cultural diversity with food, music, and dance
Established in 1932 by the International Institute of Minnesota, the Festival of Nations is designed to bring Americans of all backgrounds together - native and naturalized citizens alike - to share the ties with our past and take pride in the richness of diverse cultures in our community. At the Festival of Nations, we are able to renew a sense of dignity in our respective ethnic heritage. At the same time we have the opportunity to develop an appreciation, rather then just toleration, of the culture of others as we build for the future together.
90 different ethnic groups from around the world will share their foods, crafts and traditions that form the mosaic of our American culture. Enjoy one of the nation's largest and longest-running multi-cultural events and discover that there is so much more to who we are.
