When complete, the Minnesota Shubert Performing Arts and Education Center will be the flagship for dance in Minnesota providing a performance, rehearsal and administrative home to Minnesota arts organizations and educational resources statewide. It will also be the Minneapolis venue for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
A unique resource to the State of Minnesota, this three-building performing arts complex in downtown Minneapolis will be of enormous benefit to the dance community, which has long been constrained by the lack of a marquee venue and needs such a home in order to grow artistically. Focused specifically on providing services and support to Minnesota artists and arts organizations, the Minnesota Shubert Center will work to ensure that Minnesota dance and music thrives.
The Minnesota Shubert Center will also be a particularly unique educational resource, providing students throughout the State access to top dance and music artists. This programming, featuring interactiveInternet-based technology, makes it possible to reach students that would otherwise havelittle or no access to professional artists and performing arts experiences. As a nonprofit entity, the Center will compliment the ecology of performance venues in Minneapolis and draw its own audiences, thereby contributing to the downtown economy and helping make downtown Minneapolis a livelier, more vibrant, and safer place for families to visit.
