Thank you for your generosity in supporting Mizna, a Minneapolis-based Arab American cultural organization with a mission to celebrate expression and diversity in the Arab community!
Mizna was formed in 1998 and has done much work to promote Arab American artistic expression since that time. We publish a nationally recognized literary journal, and have presented several well-attended community arts events as well.
We do all of this work as a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that survives on grants and donations. Your donation will greatly help us to continue our important mission. Mizna is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are deductible for U.S. taxpayers. Learn more or donate now.
Beginning September 18, Mizna will be offering spoken and written Arabic classes at the beginner and intermediate levels. Classes will take place in the Mizna office in Northeast Minneapolis. MORE >>
Submit your work to us by May 10 in order to be considered for inclusion in the up-coming issue of our literary journal! We welcome submissions on Arab-American themes that reflect the diversity of our community. Contributors do not have to be of Arab descent provided their work is of relevance to the Arab-American community. MORE >>
Mizna is proud to cosponsor Bassam Saba's appearance at the Cedar Cultural Center. We hope you join us for a wonderful evening of Arabic music. Mizna supporters can get a 20% discount on advance tickets! MORE >>
About Mizna
Mizna's award-winning journal, published since 1999, continues to be the singular journal of Arab American literature in the United States.
Mizna has been honored to present the annual Arab Film festival in Minnesota since 2003 and has hosted some of the most talented Arab American artists in the visual arts, on stage, in music, and in film—including Simon Shaheen, Suheir Hammad, Hakim Belabbes, Nadia El Fani, Jack Shaheen, Raed Al Helou, Mai Masri, the Iron Sheik, Elias Khoury and others.
In 2004, we opened our Mizna Center, which has given us a physical home to hold meetings, classes, and events.
