Founded in 1974 in a loft above a Minneapolis bookstore, the Loft is now the nation's largest and most comprehensive literary center, offering programs and services for readers and writers. Whatever forms of reading and writing you are drawn to, there's something for you at the Loft. Take a creative writing class. Attend a special presentation by a favorite Minnesota writer. Enter a writing competition or attend a reading. You are invited to become involved in the Loft's unique community and to join others who engage in a reading and writing life.
The mission of the Loft is to support the artistic development of writers, to foster a writing community, and to build and audience for literature.
We are located on the second floor of the Open Book building at 1011 Washington Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis. Open Book is also home to Minnesota Center for Book Arts, Milkweed Editions, Rosalux Gallery and The Coffee Gallery.
