The Cedar Cultural Center ("The Cedar") is a music venue in Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, near the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota. It is a 503(c) non-profit organization and operated by volunteers.[1]
The building which houses the Cedar Cultural Center was a movie theater called the Cedar Theater from 1948 until the 1970s. In 1989 the building was donated to the non-profit organization Minnesota STAR (Society for Traditional Arts and Resources) started by Deb Martin and Mary Ann Dotson.[2][3]
The Cedar is the host to a wide variety of musical genres with an emphasis on world music and lesser known or independent artists.[4] Since 2009, the Cedar has hosted an annual Global Roots Festival showcasing international musicians.[5]
