IRS990/Desc0Northern Spark; A free night-time festival that lights up Minneapolis and Saint Paul each summer. In mid-June, tens of thousands of people gather in sites throughout the cities to explore giant video projections, play in the temporary installations in the streets, and enjoy experimental performances in green spaces. From sunset to early morning the city surprises you; friendly crowds of familiar strangers, glowing groups of cyclists, an unexpected path through urban landscape, the magic of a night of amazing art and experiences. Northern Spark is the arts event people talk about for the rest of the year-and look forward to for the coming year. In the past 9 years of the festival, we have presented 660 artist projects for a total audience of over 324,000.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Artists on the Verge, an annual, intensive, mentor-based fellowship program for 4 Minnesota-based emerging artists working experimentally at the intersection of art, technology and digital culture with a focus on network-based practices that are interactive and/or participatory. This year-long program shifted to culminate in a public-space project by each fellow. The goal of the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship program is to create sustainable habitat for the local ecology of experimental art practice with the following key elements: critical support and evaluation, monetary and technical resources, audience development, and institutional recognition.
