Introducing The Hive – Artisan Studio & Market

Expanding Creativity Across Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa

Located next door to The Hub at 105 W. 1st Street, The Hive expands Imagine Martin’s mission by providing a maker’s marketplace and creative workspace designed to empower and connect regional creators.

The Hive will offer:

• Affordable studios and workspaces for artists, makers, and entrepreneurs

• Shared tools and collaborative environments for creative work

• A rotating artisan marketplace featuring regional handcrafted goods

• Workshops, demonstrations, and community events that inspire learning and connection

By acquiring the adjoining building, Imagine Martin is creating a unified two-building Creative Arts Complex, a connected hub of imagination, innovation, and collaboration.

With the addition of The Hive, Imagine Martin is transforming downtown Fairmont into a vibrant Creative Arts Campus where imagination fuels opportunity, collaboration sparks growth, and the arts inspire an entire region.

Working in partnership with local and regional arts organizations, The Hive will host rotating exhibits, artist showcases, and collaborative workshops, strengthening creative connections across Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. Together, these efforts will make Fairmont a regional destination for arts, culture, and creativity, a place where artists, visitors, and community members come together to imagine, create, and celebrate.
