Juliane James Place

A place positively made for possibility

Juliane James Place is owned by Alyson Newquist and managed by the Bigger Picture Solutions team. Soon after moving from Brooklyn to Minneapolis, Alyson got it in her head to buy some land, somewhere "up north," where everyone seemed to go on the weekends. Her parents had passed away within the few years prior and she wanted to make a place where happy things happened and where families, including her own, could make new memories.

She found Juliane James Place in 2010 and knew this was the land. It needed a lot of work to become a venue, but it was the spot. Then she worked, and worked some more, and learned a lot of new skills. 

BPS came on board in 2020 to help manage the space and continue Alyson’s vision, so she could take a nap or two. The BPS team is passionate about holistically managed spaces, building relationships, logistics, and coffee. They love that their job is making dreams come true.
