Visual Art
October Free ArtDAI
The Duluth Art Institute hosts a free ArtDAI four times a year. The events are for all ages and abilities. Each event includes a variety of make-and-take art projects to fit with the season.
In this edition, attendees create essentials for an evening of trick-or-treating: costume pieces, candy bag, autumnal décor and more.
Snacks for the event are provided by Whole Foods Co-op.

Below is an interview with Benoit, as well as photos of the process and first night of the event. (more…)
