It was announced Monday that Northeast Minneapolis’ annual Art-A-Whirl event would move online.
The all-weekend event is put on by the Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA). With more than 60 locations and 800 artists participating, the event is the largest open studio tour in the country.

According to NEMAA, the online experience will be a "promotion of the arts community in Northeast Minneapolis coupled with resources and training for members to develop, or further develop, their online presence."
NEMMA said once it is safe to hold public gatherings, it will continue to promote and support artists in open studio events.
