Four Organizations. One Extraordinary Partnership.

For the past two decades, four of Minnesota’s leading performing arts organizations have shared not only a home, but responsibility for its future. Minnesota Opera, Ordway, Schubert Club, and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra each bring a distinct artistic identity, history, audience, and mission to the Ordway Center. Through the Arts Partnership, they come together as equals around a powerful idea: we are stronger together. More than an agreement about a building, the Arts Partnership is a commitment to shared stewardship and to the belief that the strength of each organization strengthens the cultural life of our entire community.

Arts Partnership Nights showcase the distinctive work of each organization while bringing supporters together around a shared belief in the power of the performing arts. Join us for these gatherings to learn more about the Arts Partnership and to connect with others who enjoy the arts.
