The Culinary Team

About Chef Jamie Malone & Paris Dining Club

Paris Dining Club (PDC) is a dining club in Minneapolis by James Beard nominated Chef Jamie Malone. You can find Malone at her North Loop Paris Dining Club Studio hosting events and creating new experiences for people who love food. PDC also makes dinner parties and date nights at home easy and beautiful.

Malone has gained national attention and earned a place as a semifinalist for the James Beard Award for “Rising Star Chef” for 2013 and “Best Chef Midwest” for 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019. In 2013, Malone was named one of Food and Wine magazine’s “Best New Chefs.” In 2017, Malone opened her first restaurant, Grand Café, and the following year, it was a semifinalist for the James Beard Award for “Best New Restaurant” and was also named Food and Wine magazine’s “Best New Restaurant.” That year, Malone was also awarded Food and Wine magazine’s “Dish of the Year.” Malone has written for Esquire’s “Eat Like a Man” blog and been featured in many magazines including GQ, Saveur, and Elle. In 2014 she won Cooking Light’s “Trail Blazer Award” for her work with sustainable seafood.

About Bill Summerville

Bill Summerville has been an influential force in shaping the Twin Cities restaurant scene, plying his trademark style of charm and brashness at such notable restaurants as D’Amico Cucina, La Belle Vie, and Spoon and Stable. During his tenure as partner and front man of La Belle Vie, he was a three-time semifinalist for the James Beard Award for “Outstanding Wine Program” and a semifinalist for “Best Service.” A year on the Tuscan Coast traveling to far-flung wine regions had a major impact on his Euro-centric palate. He doesn’t make wine lists as much as he creates collections of wine he really wants you to drink, to take a chance on. The Boston-born Summerville blames his mother for his career in food and wine. She loved food and she knew how to make it taste good. Her gravy was legendary.

Minneapolis Institute of Art: The Rural Aesthetic Initiative by Lisa Bergh, exhibition “Topography”

Lisa Bergh on life as a rural artist and arts advocate!

Lisa Bergh, whose colorful, abstract sculptures and assemblages are now on view at Mia “Topography” as part of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program, never intended to be a rural artist. But for close to 20 years, she has made a life, and a living, as a working artist and arts advocate in New London, Minnesota, 100 miles or so west of Minneapolis. A passionate and committed ambassador for her community, Bergh is the co-founder and co-curator of the Traveling Museum, a mobile art space that brings contemporary art to greater Minnesota. She and her husband, artist Andrew Nordin, collaborate on public art projects under the moniker Rural Aesthetic Initiative.

 

MIA’S 2023 Holiday Gift Guide – Minneapolis, MN

MIA’S 2023 Holiday Gift Guide – Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis Institute Of Art

For many of us, this may be the most robust holiday season in years: bigger gatherings, perhaps bigger stockings.

Or, maybe you came to appreciate a more subdued season, and want to carry on (quietly). Either way, the Store at Mia has you covered with artful objects for celebration and contemplation, festing and nesting.

Pearl Earrings by The Vintage Royalty

“There’s nothing I love more than a statement earring, and The Vintage Royalty knocks it out of the park every time. Get the Lorena earrings for the bold accessorizer in your life. If you’re looking to make a statement with a more subdued color palette, the Pearl Earrings are a great option (bonus points for the Vermeer reference).” —Anna Dilliard, Adult Programs Specialist

Amalia’s Mesoamerican Table: Ancient Culinary Traditions with Gourmet Infusions

“One of my favorite things is to shop for a good book. Being from Guatemala, when I find a book by a Latin American author—or, better yet, from Guatemala—you bet I’ll be buying that for family and friends. This year, I’ll be buying Amalia’s Mesoamerican Table: Ancient Culinary Traditions with Gourment Infusions. The book features traditional dishes from Guatemala and Central America, which I find fascinating and a great way to experience different cultures.” —Avi Mylrea, Major and Planned Gifts Officer

Langhetta Rocking Ride

“As a mom of two young children, I’m always on the lookout for cool and tasteful toys. I’ve got my eye on the Langhetta Rocking Ride and the Mushie Stacking Rings for my son. My daughter loves to draw, paint, and sculpt, so I’m putting together an art cart for her. These Chunkies Paint Sticks are a MUST, and any fun, air-drying clay is a big hit. Since parents deserve fun things, too, I’ve got my eye on this simple gold bangle to stack with other jewelry and this flask for my husband, for cooler nights around the firepit.” —Trina Reski, Senior Advancement Officer, Head of Major and Planned Gifts

Art is the Highest Form of Hope & Other Quotes by Artists

“A book like Art Is the Highest Form of Hope & Other Quotes by Artists, created and edited by the editors at Phaidon, feels like the perfect gift for someone who loves a cheeky turn of phrase, an amusing anecdote, or the Agony Aunt section of the newspaper. It may also delight someone who adores art and artists and perhaps works in the arts. I happen to be all three, and I think this book will end up in the hands of many of my creative friends, and probably my own (even if I’m the one doing the wrapping).” —Taylor Bye, Design and Editorial Project Coordinator

Flip clock by Cloudnola

“Amy Thielen, the James Beard Award-winning writer and chef who lives in northern Minnesota with her sculptor husband, Aaron Spangler, came out with the perfect book this year for post-pandemic party people. Company: The Radically Casual Art of Cooking for Others features 125 recipes, plus tips on party planning—enough to freshen your repertoire or inspire the suddenly social. I also love the flip clock by Cloudnola, which presents the time on cards as a kind of narrative: “It’s eleven twenty one.” You actually have to read the time, which makes it seem more like a literary choice than a chronological fact.” —Tim Gihring, Brand Narrator and Editor

In Our Hands: Native Photography, 1890 to Now

“As a co-curator of Mia’s exhibition ‘In Our Hands: Native Photography, 1890 to Now,’ I’m obviously biased, but the catalogue for the show would make a very special gift to anyone who loves Native art and photography. Featuring essays by a number of prominent artists in the show, alongside gorgeous full-color illustrations, this not-so-little volume pulls together generations of knowledge in a visually compelling and narratively accessible way.” —Casey Riley, Curator of Photography and New Media, Chair of Global Contemporary Art
Happy shopping! And when you’re done, wrap it all up with colorful paper available in the store from the local Nayana Design Studio or the Native-owned NTVS.
Become a contributing Mia member and you’ll save 10 percent on store purchases, and you can gift memberships as well. Here, we’ve asked museum staff—who know their artful objects—for their favorites.

We’re excited to announce our next special exhibition, “In Our Hands: Native Photography, 1890 to Now.”

Minneapolis Institute of Art: Enter into the vivid worlds of Native photography, as framed by generations of First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and Native American photographers themselves. Presenting over 150 photographs of, by, and for Indigenous people, “In Our Hands” welcomes all to see through the lens held by Native photographers.
Organized by a council of primarily Native artists, scholars, and knowledge sharers, in partnership with Mia curators, this sweeping exhibition traces the intersecting histories of photography and diverse Indigenous cultures from the Rio Grande to the Arctic Circle. Beautiful, complex, and surprising, these artworks celebrate the legacy of groundbreaking photographers and their influence on the medium today.
Native American Heritage Month is celebrated to honor the remarkable Native Americans each November who have contributed a lot to improve the character of the nation.

The Miracle of Saint Frida

When Frida Kahlo dies, in 1954, she is soon forgotten. And then, suddenly, she seems to be everywhere: on magnets, puzzles, underwear, flip-flops. How did this remarkable artist become an international icon, an emoji, a figure of fervid devotion? And what does she mean to those who believe?

You can see Yasumasa Morimura’s “An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo,” mentioned in the show, in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art here.

Have you heard Frida Kahlo talk? Neither has anyone else–not since she died, in 1954. Unless it turns out that this is actually her, on a recording surfaced a couple years ago by the National Sound Library of Mexico.

Romancing the Stone: The Secret of the Chac Mool

A mysterious stone sculpture, supposedly found in Mexico, is hailed as a Chac Mool, the iconic Mayan vessel of human sacrifice. It tours Europe as a masterpiece of ancient Mesoamerican art. It’s featured in magazines and books. But a surprising discovery suddenly begs the question: What is it really?

See Mia’s Chac Mool for yourself here.

Flying Too Close to the Sun

Kehinde Wiley, long before he painted President Obama’s official portrait, went to Brazil. There, he was inspired by a monument to the great aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, whose incredible, tragic life is as forgotten in the United States as it is celebrated almost everywhere else. He created the mesmerizing painting Santos Dumont – The Father of Aviation II, now in Mia’s collection, based a curiously anguished aspect of the monument.
