These artists have chosen to make their lives and careers in Minnesota, thereby making the state a more culturally rich place. They have produced creatively incisive art reflecting their particular and extraordinary point of view, inspired other artists and culture bearers, earned acclaim from audiences, patrons, critics, and other arts professionals, and some have founded and strengthened arts organizations.
