ASL for Small Business Owners in the Art World
2026-02-11 07:00 - 21:00
ASL for Small Business Owners in the Art World
By Denise Lau
Come learn basic ASL skills and small talk conversation on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, from 7 – 9 pm at ACW HQ.
The Twin Cities are a Deaf Hub because the states that touch us have very limited resources for the Deaf community. If you haven’t already, you will encounter Deaf customers looking at your art/crafts. Knowing the basics on how to interact with them and learning some basic small talk conversation will help you make sales or at least help our Deaf neighbors feel seen and appreciated. This class will teach you how to appropriately interact with the Deaf community, teach you basic conversation, fingerspelling, numbers, and the vocabulary for making sales. There will be props and role playing for learning tools along with paper handouts to study later. No videotaping allowed. Please do not bring any pets to this event due to instructor allergies. You don’t need to bring anything to class except maybe water for yourself. Active participation is required!
Please contact Denise Lau with any questions and to RSVP so I know how many handouts to make at MNdreamArt@gmail.com Thank you!

Past Forward: An Alchemy of Trauma
2026-03-18 19:00 - 21:00
March 18th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at
Art to Change the World HQ, 2nd Floor
699 Lowry Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418
Andrew Braunberger will host a salon night on transformation.
We will express in collage, our trauma as we see it.
After completion we will tear the collages up into small bits and add them together in a blender.
The pulp will be mixed with wildflower seeds and added to soil to grow flowers from our trauma’s decay. A small clay symbol of strength will be made of clay and added to the center of the small pot.
Several waterings will dissolve the symbol lovingly into the soil.
Email Andrew at andrewlikestopaint@gmail.com to reserve your spot or ask any questions.
