Explore ice sculptures in the courtyard inspired by artworks at Mia, get a drink from the ice bar, watch a live sculpting demonstration, and warm up by a fire. Then head inside for some hygge.
Make colorful, geometric art with Tia Keobunpheng and bring some “ahhh” to your senses with hand-crafted simmer kits. Enjoy a special performance of Nordic music by artists from the Minnesota Orchestra. In the galleries, tour the works interpreted in ice or check out some wintery landscapes.
