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
July 11 | Animating with Textiles
Lights, camera, action! This class, led by artist Luca Trujillo, will take you through the basics of stop-motion animation. Using textiles, tripods, and a smartphone, you’ll experiment with texture, shape, and movement on camera and explore the connection between physical and digital art mediums.
To take this class, you’ll need a smartphone that has an operating system compatible with the app “Stop-Motion Studio” and at least 50MB of storage. All other supplies are provided.
September 12 | Linocut Printing Inspired by Keiko Minami
Join artist Akiko Ostlund for this workshop exploring meruhen, the fairy tale aesthetic adapted and popularized in Japan in the early 20th century. Get inspired by the artwork of Keiko Minami in Mia’s exhibition, “Meruhen: Japanese Prints of Fairy Tale,” and create your own meruhen-style linocut prints using fine lines and simple colors. This class is open to all levels, and all supplies are provided.
Tickets available August 12.
