What is LoLa?
The League of Longfellow Artists (LoLA) began in the summer of 2009 as a small grassroots effort to raise the visibility of artists living or working in the Greater Longfellow Neighborhood of South Minneapolis.
LoLa has grown each year since 2009, LoLa now flourishes as an annual art crawl that features more than a 140 neighborhood artists working in many different media.
In 2017 we became a MN.-registered arts and education focused nonprofit.
We look forward to the expanded opportunities this status will bring our organization and appreciate your support along the journey.
Our Vision
LoLa is a volunteer-driven community organization that showcases, nurtures and supports Longfellow artists. We strive to represent the diversity of the Longfellow
neighborhood through the arts.
Our Mission
LoLa partners with neighborhood arts organizations, nonprofits, small businesses, and residents to design and host a variety of events and activities that:
• support Longfellow artists at any stage in their creative lives, and
• invite and encourage community participation in the arts.
