Inspiration and innovation are cornerstones of our human experience. Together they form a cycle of discovery that people use to shape the world. This cycle begins with a spark. A spark can be anything that transforms someone from a consumer into a creator. They motivate us to make what we want to see. They can be intensely personal or literally global in their scale. Come tour the Bakken Museum and The Spark Exhibition exploring these moments that reveal a diverse and uniquely human tradition and fuel our wildest imaginations. What inspires you? How will you innovate? Class meets at the Bakken Museum, 3537 Zenith Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN. *During in-person classes participants must wear a face covering, maintain social distancing, complete an At-Home Daily Health Assessment, and follow all COVID protocols of the site.
