🌍 ABOUT THE BUREAU
The Bureau is a multidisciplinary studio and creative media platform. Art, as an expression of love, provides one of the few avenues in which the imagination can be completely unbound. As such, our work utilizes photography and film, design and fashion, research and dialogue, exhibitions and creative experiences to weave the thread of our collective histories.
Our distinctive approach to storytelling allows for unique cross-category solutions that merge robust artistic production with critical dialogue.
The Bureau was founded in Minneapolis in the wake of local and international uprisings sparked by the killing of George Floyd. The team coalesced around the desire to produce work that reflects the political, cultural and social needs of those most marginalized in the contemporary landscape.
We are interested in intellectual ingenuity and offering work that develops new and experimental modes of engagement and artistic production. Are you? Email us: Info@the-bureau.co.

The Bureau x JXTA: Creative Pioneers Fellowship
Campaign, Fellowship, EducationWe launched the Creative Pioneers Fellowship to transform creative education. Our goal is to break down the barriers that hold back young talents. Too often institutions fail to evolve with the creative field, leaving students, especially the most marginalized, underprepared for real opportunities after years of dedication and investment.
Through The Bureau, we partnered with Juxtaposition Arts to spark a revolution within creative education by elevating strategic thinking, entrepreneurship, and creative processes.
Our fellows work side-by-side with industry experts to learn all facets of creative production including creative direction, photography, product design and project management. Every piece in this collection represents our shared values and commitment to investing in the next generation of creatives.
100% of proceeds go directly to support Juxtaposition Arts educational programming.
