Define and realize your artistic goals

The Minnesota Artists Guild (MAG) is an all-in-one resource for artists throughout the state. We facilitate goal and career development by aiding in the formation of peer and mentor connections, promoting collaborations, uncovering opportunities, and inspiring creativity. We emphasize the importance of in-person relationships among mentors and peers through local monthly programming and offer resources to promote artists’ growth.

WHO
Minnesota-based artists in all stages of their careers.

WHAT
MAG is a low-cost membership-based resource for MN artists. We foster community, help artists define and obtain goals, create and curate opportunities for exposure, and support artists in all phases of their careers. We do this through

• Monthly Connection Salons (in-person structured peer and mentor networking)

• Monthly Creative Community Meet Ups (unstructured artist gatherings at bars, cafes, etc.)

• Mastermind Groups

• MAG website directory profile

• The MAG-rag listing service (think a combo of Craigslist and City Pages) coming soon

• Venue Shares (group shows, shared artists booths)

• Venue Takeovers (MAG shows at local venues)

• Professional Development Seminars, Industry Meet and Greets

• Member gallery exhibitions

• Holiday market

• Live music events

WHY
Whether your goal is to get national exposure, make a living from your art, land your first gig, find collaborators, or just plain get inspired, we have it covered.  MAG is the only all-in-one collective of its kind, offering real business opportunities, in-person connections with mentors and peers, promotional support, career development, education, tools, inspiration, collaborations, and so much more.
