Fresh Eye Gallery is a community art space in South Minneapolis.
We are dedicated to showcasing artwork by emerging and mid career artists, of all backgrounds and experience, and of all abilities.
Fresh Eye Gallery was launched in June of 2021. As an extension of MSS’ fine arts studio program, Fresh Eye Arts, the gallery showcases work by artists with and without disabilities side by side in an effort to create a more inclusive community for all. We host exhibitions, events, have an art studio and gift shop. We also offer classes and professional development opportunities by partnering with teaching artists and guest curators.
Each year our mission is manifested through a community engagement project and exhibition called Eye to Eye. This project brings together artists of all abilities and backgrounds to build relationships and create a collaborative piece of art. We believe art is a pathway to authentic community connection for all.
We value inclusion, community connection, partnerships, fun, and delight.
Fresh Eye Gallery is operated by MSS, a Twin Cities nonprofit supporting people with disabilities.
