Support student artists at Viva City February 8 - April 25.
MPS invites students, families and community members to Viva City, a premiere arts event showcasing local up-and-coming local artists – who happen to be our very own students!
Now in its 18th year, Viva City celebrates student achievement in visual and performing arts by presenting a culmination of months of classroom learning about the arts.
Exclusive pieces of visual artwork are selected from each Minneapolis school and are professionally hung for display at the Minneapolis Central Library February 8 – March 28. For the first time ever, the rising student stars will travel to three intimate venues across the city – the Cedar Cultural Center, the Capri Theater and Henry High School – for special jazz, theater, fringe and choral performances.
