At the Minneapolis American Indian Center
1530 E. Franklin Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55404

The Minneapolis American Indian Center is hosting its 2nd annual gala to celebrate the resilience of the Twin Cities urban Native community and our more than 50-year history. The event includes Native performers and artists, a dinner rooted in Indigenous ingredients made by Gatherings Café, an exhibit on the history of the Minneapolis American Indian Center and our impact, a silent auction, and more.

Individual tickets and tables will be available for purchase starting in mid-July. 

Support the center

We are looking for partners to help make this event possible and to help support the center’s mission of providing essential services within a foundation of cultural values. These are difficult times due to a reduction in federal support and the economic impact of ICE activity in our community, and this event is an opportunity to help bridge that gap in support.

There are several sponsorship packages and a silent auction that provide different benefits to individuals and organizations. We are flexible and can collaborate to create a package that works best for you. 

Please reach out to Communications Coordinator Natalie Rademacher at nrademacher@maicnet.org or (507) 476-7448 to learn more about how you can support this event.
