a new building
Off-Leash Area has turned an 8-year vacant property into something positive, creative, and vibrant, which that will provide substantial economic and cultural impact in our south Minneapolis community.
With so many small companies and independent artists looking for space to mount productions and offer classes, finding a location is a significant challenge in the Twin Cities. Off-Leash Area is managing a live performance space that will sustain not only their own art making, but also provide a much needed rental venue for the other other 100+ small dance and theater companies and independent artists in the Twin Cities.

Together they bring a combined six decades of professional experience in producing, performing, and teaching to the Off-Leash Art Box.
