Truartspeaks

Founded in 2006, TruArtSpeaks is an arts & culture organization based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We provide development opportunities for artists and arts leaders through direct mentorship, workshops, residencies, public events, conferences, statewide initiatives, and more.

Our primary audience consists of people with multiple marginalized identities and artists— with a special focus on youth and young adults.

We believe that art & culture – especially Hip Hop – inspire connection, growth, and social transformation.
