Art-A-Whirl is this weekend!

The NE Minneapolis Arts District is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Art-A-Whirl, the largest art crawl in the nation!

My art studio doors will be open - and I invite you to come and see both of my art mediums in one place.

Soft Pastels – Open Drawing Studio

My studio will be set up as an open drawing studio during Art-A-Whirl hours for you to draw with soft pastels.

Take a break from the whirlwind that is Art-A-Whirl: relax, experiment, and get into flow. And my space has air-conditioning, so c’mon over if you need to cool off!

Up to 8 people can draw at a time; first come, first served. All materials are provided and you can take your finished drawing home with you. Recommended ages: 8 to adult (minors must be accompanied by an adult).

$15 material fee per person.


I hope to see you during Art-A-Whirl!
