Intermedia Arts

Intermedia Arts is Minnesota's premiere multicultural, multidisciplinary arts center. We are a gathering place to share stories through visual arts, theater, dance, music, media, literature--from folk arts to hip-hop culture.
Rooted in Community

Intermedia Arts began in 1973 as a group of student media activists, University Community Video. Over the last three decades we’ve grown, become multidisciplinary, changed our name and become internationally recognized for our innovative cultural programs. One thing remains: our unwavering mission to use art as a tool to build understanding among people.

Intermedia Arts belongs to the community it serves. We believe whole-heartedly in creative leadership development. Artists are leaders. Leaders inspire. Our programs grow organically from the issues facing our neighbors, friends and community members. Together, we develop creative tools for addressing challenges, sharing resources, celebrating positive change and building healthy communities.
Create. Engage. Inspire. Change.

Intermedia Arts is local and global. We are youth and elders. We are cutting-edge and deeply rooted in tradition. We are provocative and fun. We are us and them. We come here with our stories, give them to one another, listen, respond, learn. We are moved.
