South Minneapolis Art Fair (SOMI)

A cherished tradition for over 60 years, the Uptown Art Fair is reimagining its format and location and announcing the SoMi (South Minneapolis) Art Fair in partnership with Bachman’s Home and Garden Center at their flagship location on Lyndale Avenue. The event will take place in the Bachman’s parking lot off Lyndale Avenue and features over 300 juried artists, art demonstrations, live music, and food.

This shift comes in response to ongoing reconstruction and the redesign of Hennepin Avenue, coupled with the significant rise in production costs. In light of these challenges, a smaller Uptown Art Fair was held at Bachman’s this past summer and was a huge success with both the artists and the community, with well over 50,000 art buying guests in attendance over the two-day event.  We have expanded the footprint for 2025 and will be accepting approximately 300 artists.

This exciting evolution marks a pivotal moment for the Uptown Art Fair, reflecting its resilience and commitment to adapting to the complexities of hosting large-scale urban events while addressing the changing needs of the community. The SoMi Art Fair will also serve as a critical fundraiser, helping to sustain future programming and ensure ongoing support for Uptown Minneapolis.
