Uptown Association

The Uptown Association is a nonprofit organization that promotes Uptown as a safe, prosperous, accessible, well-maintained and environmentally responsible commercial and residential area. It also exists to improve the economic stability and vitality of Uptown and to celebrate its unique spirit and sense of community.

The Uptown Association was formed in 1975 as the Hennepin Lake Improvement Association by approximately ten Uptown business and property owners. Since then, it has grown to over 100 members. The Association welcomes diversity of all kinds and advocates the greater benefit of the entire Uptown community, including members and non-members alike. Any commercial interest within the geographic boundaries can become a member of the Uptown Association. The organization is member based with a volunteer Board of Directors of 15.

The Association serves in a variety of capacities to over 500 businesses and 4 neighborhood associations in the footprint of Uptown’s geographical boundaries. The Association has five working and active committees that include its Board of Directors, members, non-members and resident representation. The Association is also the producer of the Uptown Art Fair, which just celebrated its 51st year.
