Partners in Action: A Community Exhibition was on view at the Minnesota Museum of American Art (the M) October 3 – 27, 2019 and featured artwork created by Createch teens. The exhibition was the culmination of a months-long creative partnership of the M with several local organizations and their communities, working with M teaching artists Witt Siasoco, Nicole M. Smith and Larry Waddell (at Hallie Q. Brown Community Center), and Hlee Lee-Kron (with Hmong Museum at Hmong Elders Center).
With support from a Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Access grant, the M partnered with four St. Paul organizations to build relationships with specific communities through artist residencies that centered on reciprocity, social interaction, creativity, and cultural responsiveness.
