Style-Architects Styling Seminar
A few weeks back, in the midst of a blustery and cold week, we hosted this years’ first Styling Seminar!
Read MoreAndy Warhol in Minneapolis
Next week, one of the coolest events Minneapolis will see is coming to Aria and our sister company, Brand-Architects, is so honored to be helping spread the word. Christie’s, the world’s leading art business, is bringing the first U.S.-based Private Sales Exhibition for Andy Warhol to Aria March 16-23 from 10am - 6pm. The exhibition, entitled Andy Warhol at Christie’s, is planned as a multi-year, multi-platform partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. In accordance with Andy Warhol’s will, the foundation’s mission is the advancement of the visual arts and the support of the creation, presentation and documentation of contemporary visual arts, particularly work that is experimental, under-recognized or challenging in nature. The week-long selling exhibition will make available to the public a curated group of more than 50 paintings with the proceeds of any art sold going to the foundation. The works include photographs, prints and works on paper that the Pop Art superstar originally featured in his 1974 show in Minneapolis.
In fact, there is a Twin Cities connection woven throughout the event. Peter Remes, owner of ARIA, grew up in St. Paul, multiple Christie’s employees in NYC are from the Twin Cities, and art collector Gordon Locksley is featured in one of Warhol’s portraits.
So many reasons not to miss this event! Here are the details:
What: “Andy Warhol in Minneapolis” When: March 16-23 Time: 10:00am - 6:00pm Place: Aria 105 North First Street Minneapolis, MN 55401 (612) 342-ARIA
A Cozy Baby Shower
When you think of a baby shower, you immediately picture a brunch complete with mimosas, quiche, cliché baby games, and guests forced to wear baby bottles around their necks, right? What about a cocktail-hour with mulled wine, mad libs, and a s’mores bar? Recently, the Style-Architects events team threw a not-so-traditional baby shower for Minnesota Monthly’s fashion editor, Katie Dohman. The cozy, cabin-chic shower happily fell on a perfect snowy December night. It was an evening full of hors d’oeuvres (with witty baby-related names, of course), a hot cocoa station, homemade desserts, a s’mores bar, inspired by our friends at Gateaux, Inc., and mulled wine (after all, twas the season)! We added personalized touches to the shower by filling in a wall of frames with traditional nursery rhyme quotes and baby photos of Katie and her husband, William. Guests shared with the expectant mommy their best parenting advice by filling out a mad lib designed by the SA creative team. It was the perfect cozy ambiance to celebrate the soon-to-be-Mama. Katie has since given birth to an adorable little baby girl, Ruby. We can't wait to meet her!
Dear friends in attendance: Elizabeth Dehn of Beauty Bets, Laura Nelli of Nelle Handbags, Wing Ta of Canary Grey Photography, Thao Nguyen of Parc Boutique (and her adorable little Josephine), Bridget Ulrich with Mall of America, Fatima Olive of Fatima Olive Beauty, Meghan McAndrew of Mighty Swell , Sally McGraw of Already Pretty and the Style-Architects ladies (Ranosha Coffelt, Rachelle Mazumdar and Madeline Johnson).
