Be a Part of Something Bigger, a Growth Collage – Deadline Extended!
MacPhail invites artists (students and professionals) in any artistic medium to submit work to our annual virtual exhibition ‘Be Part of Something Bigger, a growth collage.’ Many people are connecting with strong emotions as they actively confront pervasive problems in our culture. This is a space for our community to share, create, speak, grow–speak to the light you feel, or the darkness you endure.

Sounds of Summer at MacPhail
MacPhail at Water Works presents Sounds of Summer with performances by MacPhail faculty and students. A variety of ages, styles, and instruments will make this an afternoon to remember. Moving into evening, the event culminates with a special concert by Nachito Herrera and his trio described by the Star Tribune as “Explosive. Crowd-pleasing. Rhythmically intense. Romantic. Dynamic. Jaw-droppingly good.”
