The M is more than a museum, more than brick and mortar. Minnesota Museum of American Art is an inclusive community arts center for all who call the Twin Cities home. In addition to offering exhibitions and programs in the new museum facility, the museum partners with artists, schools, libraries, and cultural organizations around the state to bring the M into Minnesota communities. For an evening event there should be plenty of street parking at meters. The nearby First National ramp is connected to The M via skyway, as well as the Jackson ramp.

This event is free. The poets books will be for sale at the event.
