In 2011, Franconia Sculpture Park established an urban home at the Casket Arts Community Complex in Northeast Minneapolis, MN. Franconia in the City @ Casket offers an outdoor sculpture exhibition and an indoor gallery space for exhibitions of two- and three-dimensional art. Proposals for 2014 exhibitions are now being considered.

Franconia’s gallery located in the Casket Arts Community Complex is a 1,700 (38’ x 46’) square foot finished exhibition space with concrete floors. The Casket Arts Community Complex houses three restored factory buildings and the Franconia in the City @ Casket Sculpture Park in Northeast Minneapolis. The three historic structures – the Casket Arts Building, the Carriage House, and the Factory were converted to artist studios in 2006. The structures are aged brick, century old wood floors, cast concrete, ancient iron and steel. All the buildings have been restored to maintain their historic character.
