This Cultural Districts Arts Fund activation is funded, in part, by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.

!!! The Function is now sliding scale, starting at $0.
Pay what you can. Come as you are.

We built THE FUNCTION to celebrate our artists and community, and to help sustain the work we do together year after year. But we kept feeling a tension: all the effort, all the excitement... and a ticket price standing in the way.

So we’re changing it. We believe the joy and the celebration belong to everyone. Public Functionary is committed to throwing a good party for all of us.

Gratitude to the Cultural Districts Arts Fund, administered by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department, for making this shift possible.

More details/line-up coming soon.

We can’t wait to see you there. June 13.
