The mission of Minneapolis MOSAIC is to celebrate the richness and diversity of the arts and cultures of Minneapolis through a summer-long celebration beginning in June. The success of Minneapolis MOSAIC is realized by accomplishing four goals:
- Presenting events to showcase the rich diversity of music, dance, theater, the visual arts, film and the literary arts in Minneapolis.
- Promoting and increasing the visibility of the broad range of cultural and arts organizations and events in Minneapolis to both local and regional audiences.
- Fostering opportunities to develop new relationships and build bridges between the wide variety of arts organizations and cultural groups in Minneapolis.
- Encouraging our diverse community to experience a wide spectrum of cultural and artistic activities in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis MOSAIC’s first four years were very successful. Each year more than 100 culturally diverse events have been a part of the celebrations in June, July and August.
