Mary Poppins at Artistry

Artistry is at 1800 W Old Shakopee Rd., Bloomington, MN.

Artistry formed from the 2009 merger of two nonprofit organizations: Bloomington Civic Theatre and the visual arts and education organization known as the Bloomington Art Center (not to be confused with the municipally-owned facility known as the Bloomington Center for the Arts, which opened in 2003 and serves as our home to this day). Our organizational ancestors were founded in 1955 and 1976, respectively, by citizen artists committed to fostering creative expression and arts access in their rapidly developing community. More than six decades later, people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities continue to find opportunities as art-makers in Artistry’s arts education programs. As a producer of theater, curator of exhibitions and related public programming, and facilitator of arts-based community development, Artistry has become a regional cultural asset serving more than 82,000 people per year.
