Minnesota Art Schools

Minnesota is home to more than 30,000 artists--one reason aspiring art and design students can find courses and programs across the state. The "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis and St. Paul form the center of the state's business, industry, and internationally recognized arts community. Art and design students in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area can draw career inspiration from the cities' many artistic venues, from large, nationally acclaimed galleries like the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to small studies dedicated to local artists.

Learning Art and Design in Minnesota

The Minneapolis Fringe Festival, the largest non-juried performing arts festival in the country, inspires art and music lovers with 11 days of music, performance, and visual arts. Art and design students across the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" can attend classes nestled in the state's beautiful and varied scenery, from the gorgeous lakes that give Minnesota its nickname to its national forests and parks.
