The Ely Folk School seeks to preserve and celebrate our community’s cultural arts heritage. Its success since being founded in 2015 demonstrates our community’s embrace of its classes and events. And, given its highly visible front-and-center Ely location, it serves as a catalyst for our downtown’s current rejuvenation, which the Minneapolis Star Tribune has hailed the “Ely Renaissance.”
