Empathy field trip - storefronts

What's it like to have a brick-and-mortar business in downtown Minneapolis? 

Let's learn from our friends at the City of Minneapolis' Chameleon program, an initiative that provides BIPOC business owners a downtown retail platform where inclusive communities are fostered, diverse entrepreneurs can thrive, and small businesses are celebrated. 

The field trip starts with an orientation to the program, transitions to visiting and shopping at the retail storefronts in and near Gaviidae Common and stops for lunch at a local restaurant. 

Join Arch Empathy and fellow small/solo business owners in learning more from our retail business peers!

This event is free but plan to pay for parking, lunch, and any shopping you may do.
