Local Artists, Photographers, Filmmakers Featured at “Give & Take: Picturing the CEZ”

Well-regarded filmmakers, photographers and artists will come together Friday, January 24, for an interactive evening of learning, growth and creative exchange in the Creative Enterprise Zone.

Produced in conjunction with Works Progress, Give & Take events have become popular opportunities for creative people of all types to gather, socialize, learn and inspire each other. It’s a simple way to tap into the creativity and passion of individuals to create more engaged and resilient communities.

This Give & Take will showcase the Creative Enterprise Zone. Located mid-city between Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and traditionally home to makers of all kinds, the Creative Enterprise Zone has the goal to be a recognized center of creativity and enterprise, a place where more people make a living by their creative capacities. As all of the presenters will demonstrate, this community is dynamic, intriguing and surprising.

Every Give & Take CREATIVE ENTERPRISE ZONE happens in a different part of the neighborhood. This event is at 2400 University Avenue West, the former site of the Gremlin Theatre.

This Give & Take will feature short interactive presentations from photographers, filmmakers, poets & creative entrepreneurs responding to the theme “Picturing the CEZ,” including:

This event is free and open to the public. Please join us:
