a space unlike any other.
Nestled in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, The Whim boasts 15,000+ square feet of airy white walls, soaring timber ceilings, sprawling vintage brick, and a vibrant romance reminiscent of the roaring ’20s. Inspired by European art and industrial beauty, The Whim is the perfect space to create an experience.
