Dreaming in Drypoint
What do you dream of? Embrace the soft textures that can be achieved through drypoint to replicate the contents of your dreams. This class will use drypoint, an introductory Intaglio printmaking technique that uses an etching needle to draw on plastic to create an image that can be coated in ink and reproduced multiple times on paper using an etching press.
Watching with Watercolor
Let’s use watercolor as a tool to capture the season. As we transition into days outside, let’s embrace this lightweight and compact medium that’s easy for travel and capturing the world around you.
This class will:
-Explore methods and varieties of paint.
-Talk about paper
-Help you gain confidence with the medium.
-Ideate on a summer sketchbook to build up techniques.
Apply to the MAEP
The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP) is a curatorial program of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia), dedicated to exhibiting and supporting artists living and working in the state. The program supports emerging and mid-career artists in realizing their proposed exhibition of new, ongoing, or recently finished artwork.
The MAEP selects exhibitions through a juried competition, or Open Call. The program hosts three Open Calls a year, in February, June, and October. The MAEP Advisory Committee and Mia staff review applications to select one recipient who will receive up to $13,500 to realize their proposed exhibition in the U.S. Bank Gallery.
Open Calls in 2025
**June 1–27, 2025, for the July–October 2026 exhibition
**October 1–31, 2025, for the November 2026–February 2027 exhibition
The MAEP is only open to artists living in Minnesota. Mia Staff, degree-seeking students, and those under 18 are ineligible to apply.

Creative Menus: June
Different art mediums have different personalities. Why does careful drawing with a colored pencil feel different than free fingerpainting? What makes scribbling with a Sharpie satisfying sometimes, or ripping and cutting and gluing a collage feel right at other times?
This class is inspired by the expressive therapies continuum, which helps us consider what art tools light up what parts of our brain. Let’s explore how the art tool we choose can help us connect to our logical minds, our emotional expression, or both—and get creative about which projects we tackle at which moments in our lives.
You will leave this class having made your own personalized creative menu booklet that you can reference when you need to get in touch with your feelings or make sense of something.
Remembering through Relief
For the month of pride, Curiosity Studio invite participants to remember our Queer and Trans-cestors through relief printing. In this class, learn how to carve and print multiple impressions of a relief block by hand. Draw inspiration from those who came before us to create hand-printed relief prints that honor their histories and celebrate our present existence. Lean into the somatic practice of hand sculpting a matrix to create a 2-dimensional image.
For the month of pride, Curiosity Studio are centering this class around Queer and Trans participants. If you do not identify with this community, please join us for a similar offering in the future.
Due to the topic of this class, we are offering a reduced rate option for BIPOC Queer and Trans participants with the intent of increasing accessibility and ensuring materials cost and labor are paid.
Zines as Vessels
In this workshop, you will be introduced to a few different methods of creating zines: small DIY booklets. Approaches will range from simple, one-page folding methods to a basic introduction to paper stitching. We will cover a brief history of zines as autonomous publications and their use in disseminating ideas and information.
Zines can be a great vessel for capturing and sharing stories, art, or virtually anything!
