What You Will Do
Minneapolis is a city deeply committed to the arts, with a set of core values that celebrates creativity, diversity, and community. This walking tour through the heart of Minneapolis is a perfect blend of the arts and urban life.
We'll walk the length of Nicollet Mall, a showcase of public art that transforms the heart of downtown into an open-air gallery. This mile-long corridor features a diverse range of sculptures and installations that reflect the city’s culture and history. We'll encounter a mix of notable buildings both historic and modern, all contributing to the unique character of downtown.
The Loring Greenway will take us to Loring Park where vibrant water features, pavilions, and bronze, abstract & whimsical sculptures reside. Then, on to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, which sits adjacent to the Walker Art Center and features over 40 sculptures across 11 acres! Inspiration is all around!
