Minnesota Connections Academy Student To Display Textile Art

Stop by the Youth Artist Fest in the Holiday Gallery Shop at the Textile Center in Minneapolis this Saturday.

This weekend, be sure to stop by the Youth Artist Fest in the Holiday Gallery Shop at the Textile Center in Minneapolis (Saturday, 10am-4pm) to see some of the amazing textile art made by Minnesota Connections Academy student, Catrielle Barnett.

Catrielle has been sewing since she was 8 years old. The family shares that the flexibility of her online public school, Minnesota Connections Academy, has allowed Catrielle to pursue her passion for textile art. She sews an average of three hours per day in an effort to master the art of this medium. "Connections Academy allows Catrielle to reach high and set her own goals while still achieving academic advancement," says her mom. "Thank you!"

TEXTILE CENTER, 3000 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414, 612-436-0464
