This is THE place to visit all year-round, and especially now for holiday gift shopping. You will find it all here on four floors - paintings, ceramics, mosaics, glass art, jewelry, clothing and textiles, hand-made soaps, handbags. Check their website for days/hours. Not crowded and covid precautions are practiced.

350 unique Artists and Creatives under One Enormous Roof! The Northrup King Building is the largest arts complex in Minnesota. Nationally and Internationally collected Artists work here. They have exciting monthly events too. First Thursday each month is an open studio event 5-9pm, and every Saturday (unless federal holiday) is Open Studio Saturday, 12-4pm. Art, paintings, jewelry, sculpture, fiber, glass, ceramics, textiles, furniture, and more.As a former seed warehouse, this 100 year old building still has its industrial roots: fantastic metal doors, exposed brick, scarred hardwood floors, pulleys, old time elevators (in addition to a modern passenger elevator). Combined with all the art, this is one of the most charming buildings I have ever visited.

Many studios are open on Saturday afternoons, 12-4 pm and for the “First Thursday” of every month from 5-9 pm. Additional extended hours during holidays posted on the website. Great and affordable original art.

Such great & unique local art. So many artists to choose work from. Cant wait until Covid is over & I can come to one of the big weekend shows & get lost in it all

Oh my artist heaven! As an artist, I truly love and appreciate this hidden gem SO much. Endless little storefronts and galleries. So many treasures and such an adventure! I could spend a whole day here.

Such a wonderful place for artists to showcase their work, and other people and artists to see artwork.I had studied about an artist who showcases her work here and got to meet her in person. Seeing the artist next to their work is awesome and inspiring.

First time I visited the Northrup King Building knew I wanted to rent space there. Vibrant art building with everything under the sun that is made creatively. Super awesome management, that has been a huge supporter of the local art community for many years. I recommend a visit here for any of their own studio events: first Thursdays, Northrup King Nights, Art Attack , and Art-A-Whirl. Easy location to find with tons of free parking.

I absolutely love Northrop King building it feels like home

The art was absolutely amazing!! The environment is so cool!

Great art, decent prices. Buy local!

I give it 5 stars for all the fantastic artist studios housed here, my favorite being Larissa Loden Jewelry!! Well worth a visit when studios are open, please support your local artists!!

The Northrup King Building is an old seed storage building completely restructured and now home of several artist studios. The most impressive thing of this place is the vast variety of art media and styles. We visited on Saturday, but the best event is the open studio on the first Thursday each month (5-9 pm). Free parking lot across the street.

I bought a chair here that I couldnt find anywhere else. Its amazing and Im so glad the store had it.

Visit NKB during Art-A-Whirl for the most expansive artist open studio tour. So, so many great artists with a vast variety of art medium and styles. The old building adds to the experience with the architecture and aging wood floors. There is a parking lot across the street that is of no charge and on street parking around the building. It is a HUGE building!! I apologize for no artist names in my review photos - just go and visit to see them all!

Loved Larissa Lodens studio

I love this place. Immense building with a plethora of artists. Cool old building as well. Open houses are held frequently. Just attended Art Attack and it was a well organized and attended affair. If you like art, youll find lots to admire here.

Fun place, great shopping, items you CANNOT find anywhere!

No Handicapped entrance for store I was in search of...

So many talented artists in one place. A Must Visit when you come to the Twin Cities and a great place for an afternoon treat for yourself if you are a local. Check hours for best times. Saturdays are when many studios and galleries are open. See calendar for special events. Art Attack coming up Nov 1, 2, 3.

Was there for Art Attack in November and it was a lot of fun to go through the 4 levels of artist spaces and see their works, tall to them, and buy pieces. A great utilization of this building.

Loved seeing the studios and retail spaces of all the local artists!

Had a great time at Art a Whirl! Even found some fabulous modern art for our new home!Would highly recommend if youre looking for art - lots of different mediums.

We really enjoyed First Thursday tonight and the opportunity to visit many open studios and speak with the artists. Some amazing pottery and beautiful sculptures.

Cool old building with much history

Beautiful old fashion building, lots of local artist, nice upscale unique stores.

Old factory revitalized by offering studio space to an amazing group of artists. If you enjoy art this is your place to browse it.

Super cool art building, lots of work being done and many boutiques for the artsy person. Definitely more female oriented but still interesting to someone like me.

Really cool, old building with a fascinating history. It’s filled with artists lofts and studios - amazing stuff to explore and buy. Was here for a photo shoot with my daughter today and the lighting was amazing!

There is a huge variety of assists and craftspeople in the Northrup King Building. Definitely check out the slaving jewelry by Emily Johnson of EC Designs in suite 245.

Great art space LOTs to see and buy!!

Great place.

Great place with fantastic art, wonderful yoga studio and even better humans!

We went on one of their art festivals it was huge and very entertaining really enjoyed walking around and seeing all of the shops

If you want to see some really cool art this is your place. The building itself is fun to see since it has these old school big heavy doors. There are food trucks during the art attack a few times a year and most of the studios and galleries are open to the public.

Such a cool and creative use if space. Exciting to see it grow.

Picked up a Christmas present (pottery). Great location, beautiful building!

Fun to just walk around, some very talented artists!

I loved it me tree he hubby and kids had a good time

We visited during the Art Attack open house and were blown away! It is truly amazing the variety and number of unique galleries housed in this building! Theres something for everyone here. From scientifically perfected photography to the most abstract of sculpture, everyone will find something they connect with!

Very wonderful art with friendly artists and a wonderful building to wonder around in, is a piece of art itself!

Good art viewing and purchasing area.

Lots of neat artist studios with a little something for everyone. Went there for the 2018 Art Attack and was not disappointed. It was a fun and exciting experience with lots of culture and art to be had! My only beef was that I wish they had a bigger variety of food trucks.

An incredible loft-style building with a staggering number of artist studios. Note that each artist has his/her own hours, so you need to check beforehand to see which studios may be available to visit. There are several open studio events each month when you can see most of the studios in the building, and it would take a long time to see them all! There are all different types of art here: paintings, ceramics, sculptures, mixed media... Well worth visiting if you are even remotely interested in art.

A bit hard to navigate but its a great place to explore and meet artists

Glad its still rocking!! Nordeast love!#

An amazing group of artists. Go check them out the first Thursday nights

Enter the world of art from ecclectic to electric its a fantastic place to discover new artists or pick up a change of scenery for you home or office.

Located in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, the Northrup King Building is a working home to nearly 300 artists. Hours for individual studios vary but many are open Saturdays 12-4, the first Thursday of each month 5-9, and during annual events Art-A-Whirl (May) and Art Attack (November). The variety of creative work in the building is second to none and the ability to purchase directly from the artist in their working spaces gives buyers unique insight into the work and the artists process.

Great place to see and buy art.

Been going off and on since they were ppl 25 years or so.

This place is full of some of the most magical artist in the Twin Cities.

Its an amazing art space!

Could walk through here for hours with all the studios to visit, definitely check it out and support local artists!

Northrop King has the highest concentration of artist studios in Minnesota. Come for Art-a-Whirl each spring, First Thursdays throughout the year, or walk through at your convenience.

Best place to go that weve seen so far for Art a White!

Great place to go during the first Thursday of the month so see great art and meet the artist.

Building is enormous and felt a little dusty but lots of amazing art

I love this place. So many amazing artists

Had so much fun looking at art! This building is amazing. Especially the doors!

Meranda Turbak is a breathtakingly refreshing creative artist that you cant miss!

Went to this building for a garage sale in an artist’s studio. It’s a bit of a maze but there was a guide at the front entrance to give us a map and directions to find our way. Lots of inspiring shops and studios. A fun hidden treasure of Minneapolis

Amazing art and incredible workshops!

Always fun to explore the 4 floors to see what artists studios are open. There are always old favorites along with ones weve never seen before. Most are happy to chat and its amazing what one can learn. We also love the historic photos showing how the building was used when it was built.

So many artists, so many potential art enthusiasts. I love Art-A-Whirl!

Awesome collection of artists studios

Good prices, great wine selection and decent beer selection.

Another Field Trip. I dont go into some of these places

Very cool spot filled with talented folks! Open Studio Nights are a great time to check out the galleries. Super good place for gift hunting.

An artistic adventure - multiple levels of artist studios.

Beautiful building hosting dozens of local artists.

Unique atmosphere full of talented artists. Lots to see.

There is an outstanding variety of very talented artists working here. The multi-story building seems to go on for ever! Very fun to explore. Event weekends can be crazy busy. Look for First Thursdays or Saturday open houses if you want to avoid big crowds.

Breathtaking amount of talent in this cool old building. Could go everyday and see new &, beautiful art. Love it!

Art-a-Whirl! What a great day...

Great use of an old building

Support your local artists. This place is cool and I wish I had a studio there. We did try to take in the whole building in one “art crawl” type day and towards the end we were just maxed out.

Warehouse with many artistssuites. Open to the public at several dates during the year. Fun to visit, roam around, discuss with the artists, buy stuff.

Love the variety of artists in the building.

Loaded with artist studios and lots of fun.

Such an amazing space for artists!
