Hennepin Arts is proud to support InspireMSP’s Career Day 2025, a two-day event connecting Twin Cities middle and high school students with creative careers in design, film, music, marketing, technology and more. The event takes place Thursday, Dec. 4 and Friday, Dec. 5 at Target Center.
Now in its third year, Career Day has grown from just over 200 students to nearly 1,600 expected participants, thanks to strong partnerships with Target Center, Hennepin Arts, Legends Global, and Levy Restaurants. The experience gives students hands-on opportunities to explore career pathways, meet industry leaders, and imagine what’s possible for their futures.
“Career Day is a transformational catalyst,” said Dan Ryan, Executive Director and Founder of InspireMSP. “This experience inspires students to dream and opens new doors.”
This year’s featured speakers include Tyrre Burks (Players Health), PJ Hill (financial advisor and community leader), Dr. Gabriel Warren (provost and educator), and Aric Armon (Adidas footwear designer).
For Hennepin Arts, supporting Career Day reflects our belief in the power of creativity to connect and uplift communities. “Supporting Career Day aligns with our mission to inspire and ensure that the future of Minnesota’s creative industries includes everyone,” said Todd Duesing, President & CEO of Hennepin Arts.
