About THE CEDAR CULTURAL CENTER INC
The Cedar Cultural Center is a nonprofit performing-arts organization and music venue located in the Cedar‑Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis that has presented global music and dance since its founding in 1989. Its stated mission is to promote intercultural appreciation and understanding through diverse programming, artist support, and community outreach. The Cedar operates a year‑round schedule of concerts, free festivals (including the Global Roots Festival), and off‑site partnerships that prioritize international artists and the Twin Cities’ diverse communities. In the last several years the organization has returned to near‑pre‑pandemic scale, expanded staff and programming, and increased off‑site engagement (including Minnesota State Fair appearances). The organization publicly posts reports and Form 990s on its website and is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under EIN 41‑1669156, which matches its public filings and nonprofit registry listings.
