Creative Expression at the Minneapolis Central Library

creative expression sessionS

Creative Expression Sessions are a fun space for folks looking to learn about performance, working together, and creative play. People who’ve experienced housing instability are especially encouraged to attend. We provide coffee, snacks and bus tokens (while supplies last). Participants also have an option to perform in a Shareformance at the end of each seasonal session.

This long running residency is a project of Hennepin County Library at the Minneapolis Central Library.

Summer schedule

Tuesdays from June 24th - August 12th from 8:30-10:30am at the Minneapolis Central Library on the 1st floor Commons.

Interested participants will have the option to perform in a Shareformance at the end of the session (see below).

Shareformance

People attending the Creative Expression Sessions will have the option to be part of a performance at the end of the session. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from July 16th - August 6th from 1:00-3:00pm, and there’s a final rehearsal on Friday August 8th from 1:00-3:00pm.

Our Summer Session Shareformance will be held on Saturday August 9th as part of the Downtown Minneapolis Street Art Festival. Check back later for details.
