Bellis 40th Anniversary Celebration

May 2 Open House from 4 - 7 p.m.

You are a valued member of our community and we look forward to seeing you on May 2 to celebrate with us! We invite you to our 40th anniversary celebrations that kick off this summer on May 2 where we will recognize the artists who submitted their work to our inaugural art show, A Home for My Story. We will also celebrate and recognize our founding mothers, and their families who continue to support Bellis. 

Also this year, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our annual Birth Mother Retreats (weekend and day-long). These experiences are so meaningful for attendees and your ongoing generosity makes it possible for Bellis to provide that level of support, which is rooted in the original vision of our founding mothers. 

$40K for 40 Years Campaign in Support of Birth Mother Retreats

In honor of all we celebrate this year, we have a special fundraising campaign: $40K for 40 Years. You can make a donation online today, or at our event where we will have "pay-a-bill" flyers for you to choose from to donate a specific amount that helps cover the direct and associated costs for our Birth Mother Retreats and more. 

Everyone is welcome on May 2 (no cost to attend)! Please RSVP here to join the Bellis Board of Directors and staff for this special event that honors the heart of what Bellis is about.

Thanks to our anniversary sponsors and supporters, we will provide light appetizers and soft drinks. Meet our artists, mingle with others in the Bellis community, and celebrate with us the 40-year legacy that our founding mothers began in 1983. A brief program will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Join us at Bellis in the Uptown Office Park building at 3249 Hennepin Ave., Suite 103, Minneapolis. Street parking is available on neighboring streets, and a Metro bus stop is just outside the building at Hennepin Ave. and 33rd St.

Our deep gratitude goes out to our 40th anniversary celebration sponsors and supporters who make this possible!
