www.IntermediaArts.org Intermedia Arts is Minnesota’s premier multidisciplinary, multicultural arts organization. We thrive on pushing the boundaries and definitions of artistic excellence. From graffiti art to performance art to digital technology and spoken word, we work from the community up to unearth and enliven new and emerging artists and art forms. Our programs do more than support the creation and presentation of art-they challenge and explore the role of art in our lives. Intermedia Arts is a catalyst that builds understanding among people through art. Our work inspires people to make changes in their lives and communities. By stimulating civic dialogue and by giving voice to the issues and experiences of underrepresented communities, we contribute to a stronger, healthier society.
