Imagine Martin celebrates and supports the artists, makers, performers, and creative experiences that make southern Minnesota and northern Iowa unique. Inspired by the success of Going Hog Wild in Martin County, our nonprofit has grown into a driving force for arts, culture, tourism, and community engagement.

Through our Community Information & Gift Shop (The Hub), Art Studio & Gallery (The Hive) in the Michael & Elizabeth Garry Building, Imagine Martin on TV, public murals, events, and collaborations with nonprofits and venues, we connect people with local art, experiences, and attractions while helping strengthen the cultural and economic vitality of the region.

Together, these efforts help position Fairmont and Martin County as a vibrant destination where creativity is discovered, experienced, and celebrated.
