Watch artists throw ceramic bowls, learn about Fuller Park’s Ceramics Programs…AND Paint-a-Bowl for Kingfield’s Feb. 7th Empty Bowls event which raises funds for Nicollet Square, an affordable housing option for youth experiencing longterm homelessness.

On Saturday, December 29, several artists will be throwing bowls at Fuller Park (4802 Grand Ave S) as we prepare for our annual event. Come and learn about ceramics and watch some great talent at work!

Also, we will have completed bowls, made by other local artists, that are in need of painting. This is a free, fun activity for the whole family – we provide the glaze, you provide your artistic vision (or just sponge it). All are welcome, and no experience is needed; recommended for ages 6 and up (ages under 12 must be accompanied by an adult); one bowl per person. Plus, we will have free popcorn and hot cocoa!

Your artwork will be on display at the 2019 Kingfield Empty Bowls Event, February 7th, at MLK Park (4055 Nicollet Ave S) benefiting Nicollet Square which provides housing and support for young adults who have experienced homelessness or been in the foster care system.

Join the Kingfield Neighborhood Association Redevelopment Committee at their regular December meeting, the first Monday of the month. At 7 PM, MPLS Public Works will present their plan for a street “mill and overlay” project to occur in 2019. At 7:30 the City Of Lakes Land Trust will talk about the challenges of developing single unit affordable housing in the city, including a current site on 46th Street in Kingfield. Conversation will focus on the city issues the project ran into, and some possible actions neighbors could take to remedy the situation(s) moving forward.

If you have questions about this meeting please contact Sarah at .

It’s a pj party…with a pancake breakfast and yoga led by Karen Bonde!! Yoga will be based on “Harold and the Purple Crayon.”

Come get bendy with the Kingfield Family Engagement Team in December, and the first Saturday of each month.

Kingfield is so full of small, unique shops that we aren’t going to list them all (for fear of leaving one of them out!)  So this Friday and Saturday, and heck, why not all holiday season?, think about supporting our many locally-owned, independently-run, one-of-a-kind businesses before you order online or visit a big box or chain store.  In Kingfield you can find handcrafted gifts, handmade food, and heartfelt experiences offered by your neighborhood restaurants and shops…often gift-wrapped and handed across to the counter to you from one of your very own Kingfield neighbors and shop owners!

Live your values. Support your community. And shop local this year!
