Building Community Through Art

We are so excited to bring Katie Ross on our podcast! In this vibrant and heartfelt episode, Katie Ross, founder of The Arts Creative in Bloomington, shares her journey from art teacher to entrepreneur. A mother of four and passionate artist, Katie talks about building a community-centered studio that offers inclusive, hands-on art experiences for all ages. She discusses how art has served as therapy, connection, and empowerment for her students — from kids to corporate teams. Katie reflects on launching the Bloomington Street Art Festival, collaborating with local businesses, repurposing donated materials, and leveraging Elevate Hennepin resources to grow sustainably. She also opens up about leadership, navigating business with heart, the value of intergenerational connections, and her unique blend of creativity and hustle. Her energy, adaptability, and community impact highlight the power of following your passion while staying rooted in purpose.
