Annual ART@HAND Winter Open House, Sunday, November 13, 12 – 4 pm
Member Preview Hour, 11 am – 12 pm
Help us launch the giving spirit of the season, nurture your creativity, and celebrate the opening of the Winter Exhibition and MN NICE Graduates. Hands-on clay activities and artist demonstrations will both inspire you and capture your attention. Masks will be required.
Winter is the season you share your curiosity and clay appreciation with those you love! We’ll have over 1000 extra pots, sculptures, and even jewelry. You will find local artists, as well as those who hail from all over the US, and who represent a diverse range of cultures, races, identities, and lived experiences. Come enjoy the space and choose the work that connects with you, or let us know if we can help offer guidance. Every purchase helps us continue programming and financially supports the individual artists in the exhibition!
We can help you choose the perfect present, gift-wrap for you, and even ship!
