Uptown Art Fair

Mission Statement

The Uptown Art Fair, just having celebrated its 50 th Anniversary, is located in the commercial district in Uptown Minneapolis. What began as a neighborhood art sale just down the block from what is now Calhoun Square has developed into a nationally recognized event. Hosting 350 artists, the Uptown Art Fair caters to tourists, art enthusiasts, artists, and festival-goers from around the country, and is the major fundraiser for the Uptown Association. The Uptown Association, producers of the Uptown Art Fair, is comprised of 3 full-time staff, 1 part time graphic designer and seasonal interns, with such a small group of staff we couldn’t put on such a large event without the support of our Steering Committee.
