Mini Mia: Engaging Young Minds Through Art! In collaboration with PNC Bank and the Minneapolis Downtown Council (MDC), the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) brings its beloved Mini Mia early childhood arts program outdoors for a special summer event. Designed for children ages 3-5, the program includes artmaking, movement, story time, and a sing-along, all centered around a vibrant hand-painted piano to kick off Pianos on Parade (August 1-31) and Downtown Minneapolis Street Art Festival (August 9-10).
