That big world out there? It’s here, too. The state of Minnesota has always been enriched with immigrants from around the globe. The contemporary art world is no exception—it’s benefited from an amazing range of painters, photographers, musicians, composers, dancers, filmmakers, and more. This issue of 10,000 Arts—the “Face of the World” issue—celebrates a few of the many minds from other countries that renew our vision, recalibrate our thinking, and bring incomparable richness to the art world. —Ann Klefstad
