Studio Sessions
Move over Van Gogh, there’s a new artist in town! Engage your creative side during Mia Studio Sessions.
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.
Registration required. Registration opens one month in advance.
We offer a limited number of scholarships to welcome all learners to Studio Sessions; please email us for scholarship information.

Upcoming Sessions
May 30 | Embroidery
In this workshop, inspired by “An Indigenous Art: Huipiles from Mia’s Collection,” join artist Ivonne Yanez for a guided exploration of three different embroidery styles from different regions across Mexico. Throughout the session, Yanez will touch on the weaving practice and use of huipiles, as well as share information about the unique embroidery techniques often used in creating these textiles. You’ll leave class with an embroidered bandana and the skills to continue creating at home.
Note: No previous knowledge is required, but you’ll need good hand dexterity for stitching. All materials are provided.
June 13 | Summer Watercolor
Join teaching artist Evelyn Staats for this watercolor class celebrating the summer season! We’ll take inspiration from works in Mia’s collection to create our own floral paintings. This class includes a trip to the galleries to sketch and develop ideas, followed by time in the studio to practice watercolor techniques and create paintings. All materials are provided.
