Support arts education in Minneapolis

For all you Twin Citians, please consider coming to this weekend's Grand Opening of ArtiCulture's new location on Franklin Avenue. Drop in on Saturday, September 27, between 3:00 and 7:00 PM to see the space and support the work of this fabulous non-profit. You can make a whole outing of it and dine in at True Thai, which is in the same building, or head a few blocks towards the river to Raja's Mahal for Indian cuisine.

The event is free and will have activities for kids and adults alike, including artist demos, face painting, a clothesline sale of "affordable art" (under $35), and a Wall of Wine raffle!

On the later point, if you're interested in the Wall of Wine raffle (30 bottles of wine), you can get your $10 ticket ahead of time by contacting me through the comments if you are unable to make it Saturday.

Our daughter has taken several classes at ArtiCulture and has even celebrated her fourth birthday there. It's a great organization that exposes community members to all kinds of visual arts on a shoestring budget. Please consider supporting them today!

You can also check out their course offerings here [pdf]. Fall session starts in about a week!
