Participants
Through our workshops, traveling exhibits, documentaries, published works and more, we engage people all over the state in a variety of ways – and have for nearly 50 years. Participants include civic leaders, community members, educators, Veterans, environmentalists, authors, storytellers, scholars, native nations, humanists, activists and you.
Partners
One of the great strengths of the Humanities Center is our network of statewide partners. Since 1971, the Humanities Center has partnered and collaborated with thousands of organizations and individuals including (but not limited to): The Minnesota Historical Society, Twin Cities PBS, the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Department of Health, the Science Museum of Minnesota, AMPERS, Camp Ripley, Women Veterans’ Initiative, Smithsonian Institution, Ka Joog, Hennepin County Library, Friends of the St. Paul Public Library, Saint Paul Almanac, The Loft Literary Center and a wide array of educational institutions from the University to Minnesota to St. Catherine University to the Roseville Public Schools and Minnehaha Academy – and everything in between.
Supporters
The humanities are all around us and are at the essence of our humanity, but that does not mean they do not need support and advocacy. Supporters of the Humanities Center include foundations, individual donors, volunteers, state and federal legislators, program participants, partners and more. Human-powered humanities takes all of us.
