✨VISIT JXTA THIS FRIDAY!!! ✨Meet the artist @dinaabdulkarim and experience this striking & vibrant new works exhibition: FOR EVERY PIECE OF IT

(1995) JXTA's very first VALT session took place in Sumner Olson public housing. For 29 years, Juxtaposition Arts has provided arts education, employment, and development opportunities for young people in North Minneapolis.

📅 Exhibition News: Join us for the Opening Reception of For Every Piece of It by Dina Abdulkarim - on Fri Jan 26th, 6PM - 8PM at Juxtaposition Arts (2007 Emerson Ave N, Mpls)

Did you know? 💡LUMINOUS CURRENT is a large-scale light-based installation designed by JXTA's Environmental Design Lab - a permanent fixture at @guthrietheater (Pohlad Lobby on the 9th Floor) built in 2019 by two JXTA apprentices: Temesgen Besha and D’Angelo Raymond.

Shout out to artists Annie Schiferl and Ben Lohr who donated 50% of ticket sales from their annual Merry Little Cabaret at Bryant Lake Bowl. Your donation of over $1090 covered the salary of two youth apprentices for a month at JXTA!!! Thank to all the artists involved!

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., JXTA will be closed, but our commitment to his dream of equality and justice never rests. Today, we reflect on his words, work, and legacy. ✊🏽
