In our Instagram Stories last week, we asked our audience to choose which direction we looked toward for our next Virtual Travel Guide. They chose north! So, in this week's guide, we digitally explored the arts communities of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota. It's a fun challenge to look for art in different cities, especially since we try to explore places that fly a little under the radar as far as art destinations go. Of course, we know that almost any destination can be an art destination, and hopefully these guides can prove our point.
For the past few years, the Dallas Art Fair has been one of our favorite local art adventures. Like so many other things, it's been postponed until the fall, but organizers have built a digital version that's live now through April 23. We've posted some of our favorite discoveries and galleries that we're looking forward to seeing in person in a few months!
