Heijeu Arts was founded in April 2023, by artist Heidi Jeub. The purpose of Heijeu Arts is to provide high-quality arts education, art-infused community events, and purpose-driven partnerships throughout Minnesota.

Heijeu Arts is created based on the work of Heidi Jeub, an award winning teaching artist, painter, and public artist. Through her work as a teaching artist, she has discovered impactful ways of educating folks of all ages, backgrounds and artistic abilities. In 2019, she built the Tiny School of Art & Design, a portable art studio that brings communities together through the creation of art. The Tiny School of Art & Design is the primary program for the first year of arts programming for Heijeu Arts, offering free pop up art events and tuition-based art camps.
