The ever-popular Northeast Calendar will be available for pickup at a location near you by the weekend of Dec. 7. It contains images created by 13 Northeast artists. The calendar also includes fun facts about the neighborhoods, information on the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District and spotlights on arts allies Silverwood Park and the Eastside Food Co-op.
Thirteen artists contributed to an eclectic and edgy 2025 Northeast Calendar, coordinated by Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. Of the 14 images, eight are photographs, six are other media. Pete Sandvik created the cover graphic, a colorful pop art experience that reflects the dynamic intersection of arts and culture in Northeast Minneapolis.
Seth Stattmiller’s two different seasonal images of the Mississippi River appear in January and November 2025.
Other artists, by month, are Lisa Roy, February; Jarrett Smith, March; Brian Noyed, April; Ben Durrant, May; Jason Jenkins, June; Al Fix, July; Kendall Laurent, August; Jeffrey Kraker, September; Emily Fritts, October; Janet Bayliss, December; and Kordula Coleman, January 2026.
