Imagine Martin Shines a Spotlight on Those Inspired to Create!
Imagine Martin’s mission is to serve as a beacon for artistic experiences across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, inviting visitors to explore, discover, and engage with the visual and performing arts. We support and promote local and regional artists, helping bring their creativity to life for the community and visitors alike while strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of the region.
Born from the success of Going Hog Wild in Martin County, a countywide public art project celebrating local businesses, artists, and the region’s rich pork heritage, Imagine Martin has grown into a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the area as a vibrant arts destination.
At the heart of this effort is our Community Information & Gift Shop (The Hub), where visitors can discover things to see and do while shopping locally made art and goods. Alongside it, our Art Studio & Gallery (The Hive) provides a space for artists to create, collaborate, exhibit, and connect with the public through classes and experiences.
We extend our impact through Imagine Martin on TV, mural projects that bring public spaces to life, and a variety of tourist attractions and community events that create memorable, arts-centered experiences.
In collaboration with other venues and fellow nonprofits, these efforts help position Fairmont and Martin County as a destination where creativity is discovered, experienced, and celebrated.
