MIVAL now has a new space! The building is located on 29th Street between the Gallery and Metropolitan Market and we are adapting the space for our various needs, making some improvements inside. The building has heat and air conditioning to get us through the seasons and the space is well suited for classes, workshops and small events.
We are excited about having this wonderful space for our artists to create and for all of you who wish to attend or lead classes. If you have suggestions or would like to teach a class let us know.
We continue to have Open Studio time from 1:00 – 3:00 PM on Monday afternoons. All MIVAL artists and their guests are welcome to join us for a couple of hours to work on art projects, discuss ideas or just drop by to see what is happening in our additional location.
