Hennepin Center for the Arts
Hennepin Center for the Arts, Historic arts center in downtown Minneapolis, United States
The eight-story Richardsonian Romanesque building features intricate stone carvings, large halls, and multiple performance spaces throughout its structure.
Built in 1888 as a Masonic Temple by architects Long and Kees, the building underwent extensive renovation in 1978 to become an arts center.
The center houses seventeen performing and visual arts organizations, including dance companies and theaters that present regular productions and workshops.
Located at 528 Hennepin Avenue, the facility contains the Illusion Theater on the eighth floor and numerous studios for dance classes and rehearsals.
The sixth floor, once used for major Masonic rituals, remains one of the largest studio spaces in Minneapolis and maintains its original architectural elements.
