Northern Spark is a magical night that offers memories and connections that last throughout the year. It celebrates the Twin Cities and brings together people from various creative communities. Such was the case for Robin Schwartzman(2011 Volunteer Coordinator and 2012 Artist) and Tom Loftus(2011 Transportation Coordinator and 2012 PR and Social Media Director) who met while working on the festival together last year.

“We became friends while preparing for the festival and delivering program guides across Minneapolis. After spending the entire night of Northern Spark working side by side under the Volunteer/Info tent, we continued to keep in touch with each other throughout the summer. By early September, we were inseparable and are to this day.” -Tom and Robin
