Annual since 2003

Each July the Fallout Arts Initiative hosts an annual art fest that sees 2,000 in attendance and helped celebrate the creativity, diversity and community of South Minneapolis by:

Bringing neighbors together,

Generating youth participation,

Creating awareness of community organizations,

Providing exposure for young & local artists/musicians.

7th Annual: Bigger Impact – We see this event growing substantially. The Art Fest will grow from the seeds planted since 2003, we are getting the word out much earlier, and many more artists will be involved. Creations from workshops and events for youth and artists starting in June will be featured at the Art Fest. The Fallout will also host a prep week for young adults that will include awareness of urban needs, outreach, set up, & promotion of the Art Fest.
