About INTERACT CENTER FOR THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts is a nonprofit arts organization based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, that provides professional-level visual and performing arts training, exhibition, and production opportunities primarily for artists with disabilities. The EIN 41-1802858 was confirmed against public nonprofit records (IRS/ProPublica/Minnesota charity registration) and corresponds to the organization operating in the Twin Cities.

Interact operates an integrated model—studio arts, gallery, and a performing company—pairing professional teaching artists with enrolled artists to produce gallery exhibitions, public performances, touring work, and community workshops. Programming emphasizes artistic excellence, career development for artists with disabilities, and public-facing work intended to shift societal perceptions about disability.

Notable achievements

Decades of sustained operation and national reach

Evaluation and replication work

Interact developed a documented theory of change and evaluation framework in collaboration with external researchers, supporting program evaluation, improvement, and replication of its arts-plus-disability model.
