Project Overview

Viva City: The Viva City Festival is an annual celebration that takes place in Minneapolis Public Schools every year. The festival gives the district an amazing opportunity to share and honor the art making that has been created with a large number of the student population. It has become an icon for the district and in 2014 we look forward to celebrate the festival's 20 years of existence. A broadcast of the "Best of Viva City" will be produced.
