We will be traveling to and hosting a table at the Weisman Art Museum for their monthly study night on Wednesday, April 15 from 4-6pm.

The theme is WAM Jams. “Wam Jams is back with a specially-tailored Spring Jam to meet you where you’re at and remind you that joy is, in fact, still possible. Bring your friends, your half-finished assignments, or your worn out winter sweater [for mending]. Leave with a more relaxed nervous system, a full stomach, and a renewed sense of hope.”

• Free Rise Bagels & Coffee
• Mending demos with textile artist India Johnson
• Eco-conscious activities with the UMN Bee Squad
• Low-fi tunes by Radio K
