Celebrate Valentine’s Day with an unforgettable painting experience at the Indian Museum! Whether you’re coming with a partner, best friend, or flying solo, our Paint A Keeper workshop is all about creativity, connection, and making something worth keeping.

Native artist Michelle Sutton will lead participants in painting a cardinal design on individual metal Keeper sculptures. Cardinals are known for their strong pair bonds and vibrant red color, long associated with the heart and Valentine’s Day. They are widely recognized as a symbol of love, devotion, and connection.

Across many Native cultures, cardinals are also seen as messengers, reminders of loved ones, and symbols of presence and continuity. By painting the cardinal, participants create a piece that reflects love not only between partners, but also love that endures, remembers, and connects us to place and spirit.
