Join Tom Hoch, Hennepin Theatre Trust CEO and President, to discuss how the Trust orchestrated the creation of WeDo, the West Downtown Cultural District. Led by a Cultural District Alliance that includes the Trust, Walker Art Center, Artspace and the City of Minneapolis, WeDo is a place to celebrate arts, culture and everything that makes our city unique. With Hennepin Avenue at its center, the district spans 1.7 miles end-to-end. Learn how WeDo is promoting this urban setting steeped in contrasts—gilded theaters, modern architecture, ballet, rock concerts at the Basilica and one of the largest public art gardens in the country. Discuss how we as a community can work to make downtown a safe and energetic city for all of us to enjoy.
