Collaborative community 'Culture Crew' debuts this month

With the shared hope of amplifying cultural activities around the city, a joint programming initiative called Culture Crew debuts this month in Northfield.

Teaming up to produce new, fun and inspiring creative programming are three community organizations: the Northfield Public Library, Northfield Arts Guild, and Northfield Historical Society.

The partnership seeks to inclure the volume of cultural offerings and happenings in Northfield so that all members of the community have more accessible and engaging opportunities to connect through culture.

“Culture Crew is a unique opportunity to bring people together to experience the rich cultural resources of our community,” said Northfield Arts Guild Executive Director Michael Johnson. “Together, we will create a stronger, more vibrant and visible arts and culture community to the benefit of residents and visitors.”

To kick off the collaboration, Culture Crew is launching “A Night at the Movies,” a series of monthly film screenings hosted by the Grand Event Center on second Thursdays beginning March 14. Moviegoers can enjoy a classic film at the Historic Grand Theater while supporting Culture Crew’s mission to invigorate the downtown arts scene, said Johnson.

The evening begins with a short film and talkback by a local artist at 6 p.m., followed by the feature at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and while there is no cost to attend the screening, The Grand Theater will have a cash bar and limited menu.
