I Love a Parade

A beloved Thorp & CBC tenant, I Love a Parade, was recently interviewed on kare11. I Love a Parade is a non-profit organization employing women who are chronically homeless to create high-quality art from recycled costume materials donated by local theaters and parades.

This is an amazing organization in the NE Minneapolis Arts District that truly makes a difference.

Located next to Diamond's Coffee Shoppe and open for Art a Whirl 2010. Stop by to experience the power of Art!
