Third Thursday

museum-wide

Does your closet hold an art collection? Tonight, celebrate one of the primo printing traditions of our time--T-shirts! Toast the winner of the MIA's online Third Thursday T-shirt design competition. Show up in your coolest, funniest, most eye-popping or jaw-dropping tee, or bring your own blank shirt to print and decorate a masterpiece tee here. Rock out to legendary musician Grant Hart, or check in with Chloe Piene, who'll talk about her eye for the sensual line in her latest lithographs and etchings.

Free; refreshments for sale.

Third Thursday T-Shirt Design Contest

Got a great idea for a Third Thursday Tee?

Submit your design to the whims and fancies of the fickle masses in our first-ever online graphic arts contest. The design receiving the most votes will be reproduced on 25 shirts to be distributed at May's Third Thursday--two to the winner, a couple to the band, and the rest to some very lucky Third Thursday revelers.

Your prize? In addition to some classy additions to your wardrobe, you'll get that rosy glow of pride when you see your very own shirt worn by total strangers on the streets of the Twin Cities.
