The olive groves of Saint-Rémy deeply inspired Vincent van Gogh in his last year of life, and the paintings he made of them are among his most moving works. </p>

Kaiseki Art and Dining Experiences at Mia

Family Day: Rock the Cradle

Art in the Park: Family Nature Art Workshop 

<p><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is an off-site event that takes place at North Mississippi Park.</span></p>
<p>Inspired by &#8220;<a href="https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/dressed-by-nature-textiles-of-japan">Dressed by Nature: Textiles of Japan</a>,&#8221; Minneapolis Institute of Art invited the Textile Center to bring a hands-on family friendly art workshop to North Mississippi Park. This workshop will use pigments from surrounding natural areas, including North Mississippi Park and St. Croix River to highlight the Japanese art of Dorozome with tie-dye techniques on cotton bandanas. Participants are also welcome to bring their own cotton-based textile items to experiment with this unique process.  </p>
<p>Each session lasts one hour. Please register for one session using the links below:</p>
