SUMMARY:Guild of Metalsmiths Meeting February 2026
DESCRIPTION:February 2026 Membership Meeting to be held at Northrup King Building Art Space\, Minneapolis\, MN\, Feb. 7\, 2026\nFebruary’s Membership Meeting will be on SATURDAY\, February 7\, 2026 from noon to 4:00 pm. Location: Northrup King & Co. located at 1500 Jackson St NE\, Minneapolis\, MN. The meeting will be in the 3rd floor gallery\, followed by a potluck and show-n-tell. There is parking in front of the building. Click on map below to enlarge graphic. \nNorthrup King Building is the Art Organization. It includes artists from about 11 different buildings in Northeast Minneapolis. The building is open from noon to 4 on Saturdays. There are lots of studios that are open during that time frame.  Some are just galleries\, and some also include working studio. \nMary Schwartz will give a demonstration on lamp working. She uses a torch to create glass beads. \nHistory of Northrup King Building\nThe Northrup King Building is actually a complex of 10 buildings first constructed in 1917. Originally built for and occupied by the Northrup King & Co. seed company\, its location adjoining two sets of railroad tracks made it the ideal place to ship seeds across the United States. Northrup King & Co. occupied the building until the late 1980s\, when it was sold to Jim Stanton of Shamrock Properties. Through an ongoing process of renovation\, Stanton and his daughter Debbie Woodward (Property Manager from 2001 – 2018) turned the Northrup King Building into the creative center of over 350 artists and arts-related businesses that you know today. The building was sold to Artspace Projects\, Inc. upon Woodward’s retirement. \nIf you have questions about this meeting\, please contact Kim Maas\, Volunteer Coordinator\, at tgom.volunteer@gmail.com
