Minneapolis Institute of Art

Studio Sessions are Mia’s art classes and workshops that offer experienced artmakers and curious novices alike the opportunity to create projects inspired by Mia’s collection and special exhibitions. Each Studio Sessions class features a different subject or medium to explore, and you’ll walk away with expanded knowledge and skills, plus a personal work of art. The only prerequisites for this class are curiosity and an open mind.
The societal shifts after World War I contributed to artists seeing line, shape, and color as material for experimentation. Famous schools like the Bauhaus in Germany rose to prominence, engaging some of the most influential artists of the modern age. In this Studio Sessions class, teaching artist Akiko Ostlund will guide you through an exploration of abstract art, inspired by Paul Klee, a Swiss-German artist who was influenced by both art and music and produced paintings that redefined color theory during the early 1900s. We’ll discuss basic color theory and create rhythmic, emotional abstract paintings using grids, oil pastels, and watercolors. At the end of the workshop, you’re invited to view the special exhibition.
Saturday, July 11 - 10AM-1:00PM - Mia Studios

Collective Unconscious, the band that set the bar in magnificent album shows brings to life one of the greatest rock concerts of all time, “The Last Waltz.”
The audience will hear hits including “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Shape I’m In,” “The Weight,” and “The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down,” along with many of their deeper tracks like “Across the Great Divide,” “It Makes No Difference,” “Life is a Carnival,” and “Chest Fever.”
Before it was a three-disc album, “The Last Waltz” was a 1976 farewell concert by The Band, filmed by director Martin Scorsese and made into a documentary of the same name. The concert itself was on Thanksgiving in San Francisco.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Band, whose members include Levin Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel, were joined on stage by more than a dozen special guests, including Paul Butterfield (“Mystery Train”), Eric Clapton (“Further On Up the Road”), Emmylou Harris (“Evangeline”), Dr. John (“Such a Night), Joni Mitchell (“Coyote”), Van Morrison (“Caravan”), and, of course, the man who made them famous, Bob Dylan (“Baby Let Me Follow You Down,” “Forever Young,” and “I Shall Be Released”).
“The Band” was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them No. 50 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and in 2008, The Band received the Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
The 10-piece ensemble consists of:
Jeff Engholm – vocals, bass, acoustic guitar Muggsy Lauer – vocals, electric guitar Nathan Nesje – vocals, acoustic &amp; electric guitar George Maurer – keyboards Erin Vork – keyboards, vocals Scott Chabot – drums &amp; percussion Richard Witteman – trumpet Brian Pearson – trumpet Mike Anderson – saxophones Ken Vork – tromboneHappens on the following Dates:

Edina Brand Launches Smarter Jumpsuit Design

KRE PRIME

Minneapolis — KRE Prime, an Edina-based adaptive brand, is putting a practical twist on one of fashion’s most versatile and often impractical, staples. KRE Prime is an adaptive brand focused on style, accessibility and innovative design. The jumpsuit includes one base pant and two interchangeable tops, allowing wearers to create multiple looks from a single set. Each piece can be worn separately or connected with a discreet zipper to form a full jumpsuit. Grady said the inspiration came from personal experience. Although she appreciated the clean, minimal look of jumpsuits, she found them difficult to wear in everyday situations. “I wanted something that felt effortless but also worked with the way people actually live,” she said. “It needed to be beautiful, but also practical.” That balance extends to accessibility. The design allows the bottom portion to be removed without taking off the top, offering a more flexible and comfortable option for people with a range of mobility needs. Made from structured stretch fabric using recycled materials, the jumpsuit is designed to hold its shape while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It is intended to transition easily from work to evening. Although KRE Prime operates as a digital-first brand, its roots are local. Grady, who launched the company in part to honor her late sister, said she wanted to create clothing that feels inclusive, thoughtful, and easy to wear. The Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit is now available in black and red, in sizes S through XL, priced at $150. Explore the Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit at kreprime.com.
