Ridgedale Center: More than just a retail experience.

After last month’s holiday hustle and bustle, trips to any shopping mall might not top anyone’s list. However, should you find yourself at Ridgedale Center, 12401 Wayzata Blvd., Minnetonka, your visit can also be an art experience.

Partners in Art, curated and managed for Brookfield Properties by the Minnetonka Center for the Arts (MCFTA), places exhibits of visual art throughout the Minnetonka mall’s public spaces, offering millions of visitors each year the opportunity to view local artwork in a variety of mediums and styles.

“The accessibility and convenience of these displays creates a strong link between artists and the rest of the community,” says Bob Bowman, exhibits director. “Exhibitors are always telling me how frequently they hear from people who’ve seen their work at Ridgedale Center.”
