Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts

Over the last 20 years, Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts  has built a multidisciplinary, intergenerational community arts program that serves the Phillips Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Over 3,000 people of all ages have participated in Semilla workshops in mosaic, murals, puppetry, creative writing, lantern making, printmaking and more!  Semilla engages the community to creatively and actively transform our surroundings, creating over 100 murals and public art place makers in the Phillips neighborhood and beyond. 

Our mission expresses a deep belief in the power of art to transform people and communities: Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts energizes youth and adults to use their creativity to build a healthier, safer and more beautiful community.

Your support directly fuels our ongoing work in the Phillips Neighborhood. Whether we are engaging youth to paint a new mural or hosting a gathering that brings neighbors together, your generosity makes it happen. Every dollar you give ensures that we can continue providing free, bilingual and culturally-relevant creative opportunities to our neighbors.

Your donations will support our free, bilingual programs in the Phillips Neighborhood, including:

Mosaic Mondays, Young Leaders Youth program, Latinx Puppetry Cohort, Radiant Waves Lantern Parade and Community Lantern Workshops, Peace Lantern Processions, and much more!

Your generosity is an act of choosing: choosing beauty over despair, connection over isolation, and community over indifference. Thank you for supporting Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts.
