About the Business

The Cedar Cultural Center, referred to as The Cedar, is a non-profit performing arts organization and all-ages music venue that presents local, national, and global music. Its mission is to promote intercultural understanding through music and dance performances. The Cedar is located in the diverse Cedar Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has become well-known for its variety of musical genres, such as roots, folk, indie, experimental, bluegrass, Americana, blues, and more.

The Cedar is dedicated to upholding artistic excellence and integrity, diversity of programming, helping emerging artists, and engaging with the community. It is the only venue of its kind in the Midwest, and hosts around 200 events each year, such as live music concerts, educational programs, workshops, films, dances, comedy, spoken word, and more. Established in 1989, The Cedar operates in a building that was constructed as a movie theater in 1948. Furthermore, it has programs like the Cedar Commissions, a local artist commissioning series; the Global Roots Festival, an annual free world music festival; and Midnimo, a program that presents Somali artists in month-long residencies all over Minnesota.

Publisher Info

  • The Cedar was established in 1989 and operates in a building that was constructed as a movie theater in 1948. The hall seats 450 audience members and provides high-quality sound in an intimate concert environment. Minnesota Public Radio has said, "The Cedar is regarded as one of the best venues in the country to be able to see and hear an artist as though you were in their living room." Many now-well-known artists such as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Ani DiFranco, Ryan Adams, Dan Wilson, Andrew Bird, and Greg Brown have performed on The Cedar's stage, which demonstrates both the quality of The Cedar's programming and its role in artists' growth. An almost complete list of artists who have played the Cedar since 2006 can be found here. Located in the heart of Cedar-Riverside, the most prolific neighborhood for live music in Minneapolis, The Cedar plays a key role in maintaining the vibrancy and diversity of the Twin Cities' arts scene.
