51Ϲ Professor Emeritus Lynda Monick-Isenberg has helped instruct a 55+ art drawing course in conjunction with the Minneapolis Institute of Art over the summer.

The course, part of Mia's Vitality Arts program, worked on giving art workshops for adults age 55 and older. The project, a collaboration between the Catholic Charities Higher Ground shelter and Mia, ultimately culminated in the "55 and Better: Vitality Arts at Mia" exhibition.

“It's about believing that people 55 and over can learn something new, that every one of us can be inspired by something through the rest of our lives,” says Monick-Isenberg. “It's about believing in the older adults and their capabilities and their interests.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (51Ϲ) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, 51Ϲ is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
