Imagine Martin Shines a Spotlight on Those Inspired to Create!

Imagine Martin’s mission is to serve as a beacon for artistic endeavors and events across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, supporting individuals, groups, and nonprofits in creating and promoting the visual and performing arts.

Born from the success of Going Hog Wild in Martin County, a countywide public-art project that showcased local businesses, artists, and Martin County’s rich pork heritage Imagine Martin grew into a nonprofit led by a passionate board of directors.Today, we continue that creative momentum by developing new points of interest, producing unique events, and championing artists, makers, and performers from Martin County and beyond who are inspired to create.
