It’s time to get your hands dirty, expand your mind, put your business on solid footing, and have a whole lot of fun. We have crafted two days of informative and inspiring hands-on workshops, lectures, tours, and events led by an impressive roster of illustrators, educators, and creative professionals designed to jump-start your ICON12 experience.

Workshops are on Wednesday, July 10, and Thursday, July 11 at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA). They are generally three hours in length (but subject to change).
