L. Londell McMillan shares, “ten years on, we miss Prince immensely yet Prince’s presence remains as powerful and transformative as ever. This Prince Celebration is not only about honoring his extraordinary body of work, but about continuing the spirit of innovation, community, purpose and fearless creativity that defined his life. We’re proud to bring fans and collaborators together in Minneapolis, and soon other locations, to experience the music, the stories, and the enduring impact of The Artist who changed the industry and the world.”
