SUMMARY:Salts and Sweets
DESCRIPTION:Salt keeps sidewalks safe in winter\, but it doesn’t stop at the curb. Once the snow melts\, that salt moves into our rivers and lakes\, where it can quietly cause real harm. Salts & Sweets is a low-pressure\, drop-in event where you can learn how winter salt affects water quality and what actually works to reduce excess salt without sacrificing safety. \nStop by to explore MWMO’s smart salting exhibit\, ask curious questions\, and pick up practical tips you can use right away. There will be conversations with staff\, simple take-home ideas\, and a few limited Salt Smart mugs and traction grit available while supplies last. Come for a few minutes or stay awhile—either way\, you’ll leave knowing more than you did when you arrived (and maybe a little less salty). \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Creative Flow: Weaving Water Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Weaving Water Workshop exploring our textile connection to the Mississippi Watershed! \nAll My Relations Arts welcomes MWMO Artist-in-Residence Sarah Nassif and featured artist Karen Goulet (White Earth Ojibwe) for an afternoon of weaving\, dyeing with organic indigo\, and sharing our connections to the Mississippi River and to textiles. \nPlay with spinning\, weaving\, and dyeing natural fibers with an organic indigo vat. Learn about the chemistry of organic indigo and dip your creation in an indigo vat to dye it shades of blue. Weave your and others’ blue fibers into community-created fabric that will become part of Karen Goulet and Monique Verdin’s traveling exhibition Aabijijiwan / Ukeyat yanalleh. Stations will be set up to explore indigo dyeing and weaving on the SAORI loom. \nSaturday\, Jan. 6\, 2024\, 12-3 p.m. No experience is needed. \nRegister \nAttire / COVID Safety / Intergenerational Info\nDress in clothes that may be stained. Masks and aprons are welcome. \nAll ages and abilities are welcome. We welcome intergenerational learning! If you are under the age of 16\, you need to be accompanied by an adult. Please let us know if you have any accommodation needs. \nAbout Weaving Water and MWMO\nMWMO Artist-in-Residence Sarah Nassif brings Weaving Water Workshops to residents across the urban watershed area. She collaborates with community organizations and fellow artists to spark new connections and conversations about our relationships to the Mississippi River and its vast watershed\, the fourth largest watershed in the world! \nWeaving Water Workshops reconnect us to the water flowing outside and the histories of cloth making flowing within us. We all descend from ancestors who created cloth for function and beauty with the help of local water sources. Textile skills of spinning\, weaving and dyeing with natural plant dyes have flowed from one generation to another for over 5\,000 years. How can these creative traditions inspire us to care for the River today? \nLearn more about Weaving Water.

SUMMARY:Seeing Salt | New Artwork by Annie Irene Hejny
DESCRIPTION:During her training as a Minnesota Water Steward\, which took place during Minnesota’s third-snowiest winter season on record\, Annie Irene Hejny became aware of the immense role that chloride plays in polluting freshwater. When she learned that only 1 teaspoon of road salt permanently pollutes 5 gallons of water\, she began to envision artwork that could call attention to this concern and offer solutions for communities. Once she began to notice excess salt on our sidewalks and roadways\, she couldn’t stop seeing it. In April\, she swept up 4 gallons of residual salt from a parking lot and began working with it in her studio. Integrating the salt with materials such as cement\, indigo and watercolor\, this series is an invitation into conversations about how to pay attention to salt\, reduce our usage\, and protect the future health of our waterways. \nSeeing Salt | New Artwork by Annie Irene Hejny\nFriday\, Nov. 10\, from 5–10 p.m.\, and Saturday\, Nov. 11\, from 12–5 p.m.\nCasket Arts Building\, Studio #213\, 681 17th Avenue NE\, Minneapolis\, MN 55413 (map) \n‘Prep for Winter with a Minnesota Water Steward’\nSaturday\, Nov. 11\, at 2 p.m.\nA panel discussion with Q&A about best practices to reduce salt usage.
