Art-A-Whirl 2026: Sign Up To Make A Mosaic

Local peeps, our Minneapolis studio is participating in this years Art-A-Whirl, the largest open artist studio tour in the country! This event happens annually throughout Northeast Minneapolis the third weekend of May from the 15th – 17th. With over 1,600 other NEMAA member artists, galleries, and businesses participating at 100+ locations, it’s a fantastic way to connect with myself and other local artists, listen to live music, enjoy a restaurant and make your own art!

Sign Up + Make Your Own Mosaic
Step into a colorful, hands-on, creative mixed media experience and make your own mini mosaic in-studio! Each one-hour booking includes everything you need to complete one small mosaic project from start to finish. You’ll choose from a selection of mini frames and then dive into a curated “treasure trove” of materials: glass, beads, tile, china, and vintage findings, to bring your piece to life!
