Through monthly film nights, affordable arts classes for children and gallery events (displaying the art of the students and local working artists) Aldrich Arts Collaborative hopes to bring artists and our diverse communities together to nurture young artists, honor artistic excellence, explore the human experience and its mysteries, and celebrate the diversity of South Minneapolis.

Aldrich Arts Collaborative is a collaboration between local artists, Aldrich Church, local contributing businesses, and neighborhood students, and patrons. We believe the arts open us to a deeper understanding of God, our society, and ourselves. Because of this, we embrace the arts as an essential public good—critical to a healthy society and healthy faith communities, invaluable for personal enrichment and growth, and a door to creating a more just, compassionate, and beautiful world.

ART CLASSES
Affordable arts classes for youth, taught by professional working artists are offered on a quarterly basis.  Student work is then displayed at the Aldrich Gallery, alongside the work of local artists.  Learn More. To register for classes email aldricharts@gmail.com or
