BEGIN AGAIN: 50 YEARS AND COUNTING
February 7 - December 13, 2026 / Aronson Fine Arts Center
Art & Nature Days bring families, friends, and individuals together for hands-on art activities and engaging demonstrations.
Join us as we celebrate the opening of Begin Again: Wak’a Garden, co-created by Laumeier’s 2026 Visiting Artist in Residence, Juan William Chávez and the 2026 Kranzberg Exhibition Series Artist Kiersten Torrez.

Take an evening stroll at the Park and let the woods inspire your next masterpiece! We’ll begin with a short, guided walk through Laumeier’s grounds to mindfully forage fallen pine needles, catalpa leaf clippings, bark textures, and more. Head back to our indoor clay studio and learn how to incorporate these botanical treasures into a functional ceramic project. Complete your creation by adding colorful underglazes and other embellishments before leaving the studio. Bring your favorite adult beverage; light snacks provided. Pick up your finished piece the following week.

A nature-inspired retreat for grounding, creating, and connection.
Breathe in the forest air. Feel the earth in your hands. Slow down with a circle of like-hearted people. Join us for a calming and creative day where art, nature, and wellness meet. Step outside the rush of daily life and into a grounded rhythm of movement, breath, stillness, and clay.
Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through gentle practices and activities that connect you with your body, your creativity, and the people around you. Move mindfully beneath the trees, sip warm herbal tea, share stories, and get your hands messy on the potter’s wheel. Come solo or with a friend− this is a welcoming space to slow down, make something with your hands, and reconnect with your inner child.
Sunday, April 26 / 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. /
Ages 18+ / $70
