What happened to January? If you're a student on the University of Minnesota campus, welcome back and happy Spring semester. Winter break went by more quickly than usual here at the museum; but, we are excited to give you a peek at what we've been working on! Though we've been living through another Ice Age over the last couple of months, I hope you can look forward to celebrating spring fever with us by checking out these upcoming events around town:

OPEN CALL: Elements, a Design Competition & Runway Show

I’m standing on the roof of WAM. In front of me the Coffman Memorial Union and the Minneapolis skyline at my back. Aside from the exclusive view, I am actually up here to look at something else: the two honey bee colonies thriving on the Eastern edge of the roof.

WAM Collective is greeting the new school year with great pleasure as we present our annual back-to-school concert series, WAM-o-RAMA, (TOMORROW!) Friday, September 6. With our smashing event being just a day away, we figured this would be a great time to introduce you to this year's band lineup and give you a sneak peek at what to expect for this night in the museum.

It's hard to believe that we have come to the end of another summer in the Twin Cities. It's been a few months since our last post, and we have tons of news to share! Welcome back, University of Minnesota students. Are you ready for your fall event agenda?
