Virtual Family Day: Family Portraits

<p>Celebrate the beauty and diversity of all families! Family Day in September will be hosted by MidWest Mixed, a Minnesota-based organization that centers mixed people and transracial adoptees of color. Explore long time MidWest Mixed team member Leslie Barlow’s MAEP exhibition &#8220;Within, Between, and Beyond,&#8221; which features our stories of mixedness, family, and belonging. Get a one-of-a-kind coloring sheet designed by Barlow and be inspired to paint your own unique family or community portrait. Put on loose clothing and interact with a pre-recorded movement lesson for all levels and ages, led by Alissa Paris, Director of MidWest Mixed, a Minnesota-based organization that supports mixed people and transracial adoptees of color.</p>
<h2>Free Family Day Artist Totes</h2>
<p>During August&#8217;s Family Day weekend (August 7–8, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.), you can pick up a free Family Day Artist Tote at Mia’s Third Avenue entrance. You will receive a watercolor paint set and instructions on how to create still-life sculptures and paintings.</p>
<p>Materials in the kit complement the Virtual Family Day program’s activities but are not essential to enjoying the activities. Totes are available while supplies last.</p>
