Central Square

Central Square is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Minnesota through arts programming and community events. Our building, located in the heart of Glenwood, MN, is the original Glenwood High School, a restored, historic landmark now under the care and guidance of Central Square. Central Square's mission is to engage our community by presenting a multitude of diverse performance and visual arts programs and events, provide professional growth opportunities for Minnesota artists, and preserve our historic theater, gallery, and building, which hold great social significance to our community.

We provide a vast array of year-round arts programming to a broad local and regional audience, and we celebrated our 25th year of arts programming in 2019! Our programming includes seasonal children’s art workshops, year-round adult programs, and musical and theatrical performance events. Central Square hosts year-round exhibitions in The Central Square Art Gallery, which is free of charge and open to the public. Our youth program hosts eight weeks of various art classes during the summer months. These classes give children an opportunity to explore their creativity as they experiment with color, texture, and various artistic processes. We also host seasonal children’s theater workshops and year-round artist-led multidisciplinary art education classes for students of all ages.

As a non-profit organization, Central Square, Inc. appreciates volunteers and donors who enjoy being involved in their community and fostering the arts.
