Cities we run in Minnesota.
Active install markets across Minnesota. Tap any city for its local work, neighborhoods, and pricing.
Six formats. One field log.
The same six disciplines run in every Minnesota city. Only the format mix shifts by market. One crew, one contract, one paper trail.
The state law. The city rules.
Every Minnesota placement runs on permitted walls and written owner consent, with a documented paper trail. Zero municipal removals on record since 2019.
State frame. Minnesota statute governs outdoor advertising visible from federal-aid highways. That's the layer most agencies misread as "the law." Off-highway street-level work is governed city-by-city.
City reality. Minneapolis runs on city sign permits + owner consent (5–8 day lead in tier-1 corridors). St. Paul layer their own BIDs and downtown improvement districts on top. Lead times shift with the calendar. Election season slows everything.
Where we operate without surprises. Every Minnesota city below has been audited for the actual permit path. Lead times reflect real owner / BID response, not statutory minimums. Brief us and we route through what's actually possible this week.
Where we don't run paid work. Transit property without contract, state DOT right-of-way, federal parkland. If a brief routes there, we redirect to adjacent private surfaces and document the lift in writing.

Brief a Minnesota campaignThe minnesota playbook.
The long read for buyers scoping Minnesota: how we book, scout, permit, and ship across the market.
The Twin Cities run two downtowns inside one metro. Minneapolis carries Northeast artist culture and Uptown music density. St. Paul carries the capital district, Macalester and St. Thomas campus traffic, and historic neighborhoods that read older and quieter than the Minneapolis side. The crew that runs Northeast for a label drop runs St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill for a nonprofit campaign the same week. Two cities, ten miles apart, two different audiences.

Permits in Minnesota
The City of Minneapolis does not require a permit for paste-up posters on private property when the owner provides written consent. That consent sits on file before paste touches brick. Public infrastructure stays off-limits. Winter (December through February) runs freeze-rated paste with extended cure windows, and the protocol is documented for every Minneapolis and St. Paul zip code we work.
Private property plus written consent. No public infrastructure, no transit, no right-of-way.

Winter is the protocol question every Minnesota client asks first. Sub-zero stretches in January push install windows to the single warmest hour of the day, freeze-rated paste extends cure from hours to a full day, and the surface mix shifts toward pole stickers and interior placements that live indoors. The reward arrives in summer: the Greenway, the Mississippi trails, and the Twin Cities bike network pull a tourism and commuter audience past Northeast and Uptown walls daily from May through October, and the bike-corridor blocks book repeat work year over year.
Cross the state line.
Minnesota clients regularly run regional buys that spill into neighboring markets. Same operator contract, same field log. Different state line.
Statewide FAQ.
The questions every Minnesota brief opens with, answered with the operator answer, not the marketing one.
Q · 01 Is wheatpasting legal in Minnesota?
Yes on private property with written owner consent, which sits on file before install day. Posting on public infrastructure (utility poles, transit, right-of-way) is not. Northeast Minneapolis and Uptown have active street-culture and mural communities. Compliance protocols match Minnesota's property-law framework.
Q · 02 What's the best timing for Minnesota campaigns?
May through September pulls the cleanest install conditions. Winter campaigns (December through February) need freeze-rated paste that cures in sub-freezing air, with install windows shifted to the warmest hour of the day. Spring mud season (April into May) complicates early-morning installs. Fall runs near-ideal: moderate temperatures, low precipitation, and a bike-tourism audience still on the trails.
Q · 03 Which Minneapolis neighborhoods support wheatpaste?
Northeast Minneapolis carries the artist community and mural culture. Uptown carries music venues, retail, and dense residential foot traffic. The Warehouse District pulls corporate and hospitality reach. Downtown carries office and convention corridors. Mill District pulls mixed residential and creative-industry tenants along the riverfront.
Q · 04 How much does a Minnesota wheatpaste campaign cost?
Single-neighborhood paste campaigns in Minneapolis start around $5K for a 12-wall run. Multi-neighborhood saturation across Northeast, Uptown, and the Warehouse District runs $14K to $24K. Midwest rates apply, and winter pricing reflects the freeze-rated paste and extended cure windows.
Q · 05 Does Minnesota winter affect campaign operations?
Yes, the protocol changes. December through February runs 0 to 20°F with regular sub-zero stretches. Freeze-rated paste, extended cure windows (12 to 24 hours), and warmest-hour install timing keep the work moving. Pole stickers and interior installs carry more of the surface mix in winter. Spring through fall is no-contingency season.
Q · 06 What surfaces dominate Minnesota?
Northeast Minneapolis favors raw brick and warehouse facades along the bike-corridor blocks. Uptown carries painted commercial walls. Warehouse District holds historic commercial brick. Downtown carries mixed retail and office. Pole inventory is dense along the Northeast corridors and South Uptown arterials. Sidewalk stencil work pairs well with Northeast and Uptown pavement in the warm months.
Q · 07 What proof do I get after a Minnesota campaign wraps?
Photo proof and GPS-stamped logs land within 48 hours of install. Daily updates run during the live window. Final wrap deck covers image gallery, neighborhood breakdown, foot-traffic estimates, earned social pickup, and removal documentation.
Q · 08 Can I run multi-city Minnesota tours?
Minneapolis is the operational base. St. Paul sits 10 miles east and runs as part of the Twin Cities metro, so same-day multi-city work is standard with two-crew coordination. Duluth and Rochester add 2 to 3 hours of crew staging, so 7-day lead times apply.
