3-Minute Egg

We support and promote Minnesota artists and arts organizations by increasing public awareness of their work. We inform and educate Minnesotans about issues and trends affecting Minnesota artists, arts organizations and their audiences, and illustrate the personal and social value of Minnesota artists within their communities.

3-Minute Egg launched September 15, 2008, as the nation’s first daily video blog. Our videos expose artists and arts happenings across a spectrum of disciplines—dance and theater, film and visual art, performance art, public art, rock, jazz and hip-hop, comedy, literature, slam poetry, and the classical arts. More than merely previewing upcoming shows and exhibitions, 3-Minute Egg brings viewers into rehearsal rooms and recording studios, on stage and backstage, into gallery spaces and opening nights—illuminating the artistic processes as much as the final artistic product. To date, we've produced more than 300 short videos about Twin Cities artists and their work.

We're at a critical time in our short life. It's vital that we redesign the 3-Minute Egg Web site to make it more user-friendly. When we begin our third season of production, we want you to more easily find the videos you're looking for, offer a curated events calendar and a place for local artists to contribute their own videos.

As we proceed with becoming our own 501(c)(3) organization, your donation today goes through our nonprofit fiscal agent, IFP-Minnesota. Thank you for your support of 3-Minute Egg , and we'll see you around the Twin Cities arts SEEN.
