Minnesota Street Project

Minnesota Street Project Minnesota Street Project is committed to retaining and strengthening the vibrant contemporary visual arts community in San Francisco.
(714)

Minnesota Street Project began as a labor of love for its founders. Deborah Rappaport, respected social entrepreneur, and Andy Rappaport, retired tech-industry veteran, are passionate supporters of both the arts and their adopted home, San Francisco. With a belief that “those who have done well have a responsibility to do good,” the Rappaports have acted out of a realization that a new form of art

istic patronage is not only a worthy goal, but an aspect of local culture their unique skills enable them to realize.
