Join former artist-in-residence Akiko Ostlund for a free Collage workshop from 6 – 8 pm on Friday, June 21 at the St. Mane Theatre Second Floor Studio!

This is an all-ages, all experience level workshop where folks can explore the medium of collage alongside friends, family, and neighbors. Come alone or bring a friend! Akiko will guide participants through exploring the broad creative possibilities of collage. Whether you’re constantly creating your own cut-and-paste masterpieces, or are entirely new to collage, this workshop is sure to be a fun and fulfilling opportunity.

Food and drink will also be provided at no cost to the participants. All materials will be provided, as well. Participants can come for a short while, or stay through the whole event. Walk-ups are welcome, but folks are encouraged to pre-register for this workshop, to help organizers estimate attendance and material needs. Register for free online at the link above.

Akiko Ostlund is a visual artist, performance artist, teaching artist, curator, and an activist who lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A native of Osaka, Japan, she uses writing, dance, collage, and puppetry to tell stories that reflect her time, and a narrative of immigrant women of color that is often underrepresented.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
