Years in the making, the new Artist Lofts have brought new life to one of the most historically important buildings in Minneapolis, the site where the Pillsbury company made its name.

We've offered prior tours of the building, during construction, but even if you've seen it before, you won't want to miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to see the completed and open-for-business building and to learn about the project from the people who led it, including BKV Group (the architect) and Weis Builders (the contractor).

The event is also a chance to celebrate and support Preserve Minneapolis--all proceeds for this fundraiser event go right back into our programs, including our tours, forums, advocacy, and the Minneapolis Historical mobile app.
