This week, Peter speaks with Kate Nordstrum, Executive and Artistic Director of The Great Northern – a 10-day arts and ideas festival that celebrates winter culture in MSP. They discuss the wide range of festival events, and how cold and creativity often go hand-in-hand. This COVID-safe edition of the festival is a great way to get outdoors and start the year with intention.

 

Conversations about climate change and the importance of protecting winter have taken an increasingly central role at the festival. As a step toward creating a new climate economy in the region, GREATER MSP is a festival sponsor and hosting two panels in the Climate Lunchtime Solutions Series.
