825 ArtZ launches spring 2025!
825 Arts and zAmya Theater Project are joining forces to offer a special series of creative workshops designed by and for individuals who have experienced homelessness. These sessions serve as a platform for artistic skill-building, fostering social connections, and encouraging creative expression. They will culminate in an informal “shareformance” at an Art-B-Q on June 17th.
People who’ve experienced housing instability are especially encouraged to attend. We provide coffee, snacks and bus tokens (while supplies last).
FREE! No registration required. Come to one or many!
Activities can be provided for children younger than 14, but you must sign up in advance with Esther, zAmya’s Company Manager (contact information below).
Questions or needs we haven’t addressed? Contact Esther, zAmya’s Company Manager at esther@zamyatheater.org / 612-760-4804.

Attitude of gratitude
zAmya is grateful to our funders! This activity is made possible by the generous support of the F. R. Bigelow Foundation, and the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation. It is also made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board, including an Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
