The Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (or NEMAA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of working artists and allies based in Northeast Minneapolis, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.
Founded by a small collective of artists in 1995, today NEMAA has more than 1,000 members including artists, students, community friends, non-profit organizations, art galleries, and business members.
[1] NEMAA's most visible event is Art-A-Whirl, the largest annual open artist studio tour in the U.S., held since 1996 and partially founded by Dougie Padilla, a Chicano poet, multimedia visual artist.
NEMAA was instrumental in establishing the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District in 2003, with the Mississippi River on the west, Broadway Street on the south, Central Avenue on the east, and 27th Avenue on the north.
