Moving Sale Fundraiser on Oct 25
For 25 years, Articulture has been a creative home in the Twin Cities. Now, as we prepare for an exciting new chapter working with Twin Cities Maker, we’re turning a page. Our mission to empower individuals and communities through art continues, but our footprint is changing. And that means we have some items that need new homes.
This is a fundraising sale, and a passing of the torch with a little celebration. We're inviting you to take home a piece of our history — items that have facilitated thousands of moments of creativity and connection, while chatting and enjoying together!
We’ve gathered some huge variety of storied items from our studio—things we can't take with us but are too full of potential to discard. These aren't just things; they're artifacts from a quarter-century of community art, and they're craving new journeys with you.
You'll find everything from unique art books and display pieces to children’s books, art supplies, office cabinets, shelving units from our store, and even some kitchen supplies - in other words - something for everyone! Come with curiosity and leave with your treasure. Lots of office supplies, children’s toys and games, retail fixtures, artwork, and much much more!
📍 Where: Articulture, 2613 E Franklin Ave
📅 When: Saturday, Oct 25
⏰ Time: 10:00am - 4:30pm
If you don’t want to get anything, no problem - come by just to say hi and enjoy light snacks with members of our community!
Do you have a bit of time to volunteer?
Beyond finding new homes for items, we need help with the following:
A) Pre-sale organization and pricing.
B) Assistance on the day of the sale (setup, customer help, breakdown).
C) Light moving and packing tasks as we consolidate and organize our supplies.
This is a chance to roll up your sleeves alongside our team, hear about our new ventures firsthand, and form new connections rooted in a shared goal: positively contributing to the community. If you're able to volunteer, please contact us by emailing egreenbaum@articulture.org and let us know how you'd like to help. We would love to meet you.
Thank you for being the reason our first 25 years were so impactful. We can’t wait to see you at the little get together and fundraising sale to start this new chapter with you by our side.
With gratitude,
The Articulture Team

Articulture Staff and Board of Directors
Committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
We believe that the act of creating art is a pathway to self-fulfillment.
We at Articulture are dedicated to nurturing imaginations, sharing valuable and first-hand art knowledge and skills, and cultivating a more inclusive, accessible, intentional, compassionate, creative, free and connected world. We believe art is a holistic tool for personal and social change, and everyone is worthy of experiencing the power and healing of art.
By creating space and access to artists of all ages and skill levels in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities area, we want to ensure as many people as possible are given opportunities to find creative expression through the visual arts. Apart from offering classes to the general public, we also focus on Outreach and Art Healing programs. Current partnerships include: People Serving People Shelter, The Magnet 55+, and Minneapolis Public Schools (for after school programs).
Art programs for children
Our weekend art classes, creative workshops, school release day camps, and week-long, full-day summer camps & programs for children provide opportunities for quality artistic instruction combined with open-ended, imagination-based art projects.
We design our classes to foster creative thinking, enhance motor skills, and provide an outlet for artistic curiosity and sensory development with a variety of art materials.
Art education is essential for holistic growth, cognitive development, and academic learning of a young person.
Our classes, camps, and workshops are designed to allow youth to express their emotions, ideas, and experiences in a safe and constructive environment. We encourage them to think outside the box and develop their personal and unique voices.
Patience and perseverance, boosted self-esteem, and increased cognitive skills are just some of the valuable benefits of their engagement in the arts.
Studies have shown that art education can enhance academic achievement, as it aids in development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which is necessary in all academic learning in addition to gaining important life skills.
Art programs for teens
Art programs for adults
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Regardless of your field, profession, background, or artistic skill level, you will find yourself immersed in this fun, creative, and supportive environment.
It can be the most gratifying way to discover a new passion, reconnect with your inner artist, or expand your existing creative skills, while also, connecting with peers having similar interests and passions.
Stress reduction, mindfulness and presence, emotional expression, and versatility in problem-solving are just some of the great benefits of engaging in creative opportunities as an adult.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
