The story: Minneapolis arts explosion
The Minneapolis cultural landscape is experiencing an arts explosion. It's driven by several critically acclaimed arts organizations that have commissioned internationally recognized architects to design their buildings:

• Walker Art Center, architects: Herzog & de Meuron
• The Children’s Theatre Company, architect: Michael Graves
• Minneapolis Public Library, architect: Cesar Pelli
• Guthrie Theater, architect: Jean Nouvel
• The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, architect: Michael Graves
• Weisman Art Museum, architect: Frank Gehry

In the span of just 2 years, Minneapolis will unveil nearly a half-billion dollars in new arts infrastructure that adds to the area's dynamic offerings.
