Luke Black Elk (Tetowan Lakota, Itazipco Band) renowned chef, food sovereignty activist, and teacher of traditional plant uses, gardening, food preservation, and foraging.

Most of the items that are served are exclusive to our group and are not served in the upstairs dining room on the regular menu. "At Owamni, we like to use foods that are from this region, such as bison, venison, rabbit, wild rice, and corn. Foods we do not use in our establishment are wheat flour, dairy, refined sugars, or any foods that are not native to North America. Not only is this a clean and healthy way to eat, it is also a learning experience about how our Ancestors ate before we were colonized. One of the main parts of the mission at Owamni is the revitalization of our culture and our Indigenous food practices and how we can show our guests what it feels like to eat a full meal and leave feeling energized and whole." Includes dinner and gratuity. (House red /white wine and iced tea available to purchase directly from restaurant). NOTE: Registration for this event is only available through Minneapolis Community Education. (Please do not call Owamni.) Owamni is located at 420 1st St S, Minneapolis, MN 55401.

Owning an Electric Vehicle (Lake Harriet Upper) ONLINEComputers & TechnologyAre you thinking of buying an Electric Vehicle (EV)? Do you own an EV and have questions about how to use it? Are you thinking about taking your first EV road trip, but feeling insecure? Electric vehicles use completely different technologies than gas fueled vehicles. EV Basics covers what to consider when purchasing an EV, how to charge for daily use, how to use DC fast chargers, and how to plan for road trips. In the first two hour session, we will meet as a class over zoom. In the second session, we will meet at a DC fast charger location to provide hands-on experience in using them. Students will practice charging with the instructor's two EV's (and if the class has any others) before retiring to a coffee shop for Q and A.Adult Enrichment Spring 2026 -

Painting : Watercolor Color Theory Clouds & Watercolor Skies (Roosevelt 55+)Creative ActivitiesThis class explores three essential watercolor approaches for painting clouds: masking, lifting, and layering. In this technique-driven class, we will also explore wet‑on‑wet softness, wet-on-dry sharpness, and drybrush texture. Students learn how each technique interacts with pigment behavior—how granulating colors create texture, how staining pigments affect edges, and how warm‑cool shifts shape the mood of a sky. Through step‑by‑step demonstrations and guided practice, participants experiment with building atmospheric washes, carving out cloud shapes, and layering subtle color variations to create convincing, expressive cloudscapes. While the focus is on technique, the class also weaves in approachable color theory to help students choose pigments that support the feeling they want to convey. This session is perfect for beginners and returning students who want to expand their watercolor toolkit and gain confidence painting the ever‑changing sky. This class is priced on a sliding fee scale. Please pay the price you are able. This helps to ensure that Community Education can provide quality opportunities for all of our participants.Lifelong Learning 55+ Spring 2026 -

Painting : Watercolor Color Theory Watercolor Sunsets (Roosevelt 55+)Creative ActivitiesThis class introduces students to the foundations of watercolor color theory through the luminous language of sunset skies. Through guided demonstrations and hands‑on experiments, participants explore how watercolor pigments behave—tinting strength, opacity, granulation, temperature—and how those qualities shape the colors they can mix. Students practice creating glowing oranges, soft violets, gentle pinks, smoky blues, and the subtle neutrals that make a sunset feel atmospheric and alive. The emphasis is on building practical color‑mixing skills and developing confidence with materials. Students learn how to select pigments intentionally, mix clean and expressive colors, and use layering, wet‑on‑wet, and wet-on-dry techniques to create smooth gradients and radiant skies. This welcoming, supportive class is ideal for beginners as well as returning painters who want to deepen their understanding of watercolor pigments and color relationships.

Painting: Watercolor Color Theory Minnesota Northern Lights (Roosevelt 55+)Creative ActivitiesThis session focuses on understanding watercolor color theory through the shifting, ethereal palette of the Northern Lights. Students explore how cool‑temperature pigments, staining colors, and granulating mixtures can be layered to create luminous veils of green, violet, blue, and rose. Through guided demonstrations, participants experiment with controlled wet‑on‑wet techniques, soft‑edge transitions, and intentional pigment selection to capture the movement and glow of aurora-filled skies. Alongside color theory, the class highlights how pigment behavior influences atmosphere—how transparency creates depth, how granulation suggests drifting light, and how value contrast brings the night sky to life. Students leave with a stronger grasp of mixing expressive cool palettes, building layered luminosity, and using watercolor’s natural properties to evoke a sense of wonder. No prior experience is required; curiosity and a love of Minnesota skies are more than enough. This class is priced on a sliding fee scale. Please pay the price you are able.
