Damien Dempsey The Cedar Sat., September 6, 7:00pm Minneapolis (Downtown)
Although he's collected a slew of awards in Irish folk and traditional categories in recent years, Dublin native Damien Dempsey is a renegade who not only flirts with the punk ethos of bands like the Pogues but also has freely dabbled in hip hop and electronica. Dempsey's latest, The Rocky Road... More >>
Taylor Negron: Satellites Bryant-Lake Bowl Sat., September 6, 7:00pm
more dates/times 		Minneapolis (South)
D-list celebrity is a strange beast. For some, it's a career made up of paparazzi stalking and attending weird promotional events. For others, it's a matter of stalking paparazzi, failing to get into clubs, and possibly a reality show documenting the star's oblivious fame-whore desperation.... More >>
Xiu Xiu Triple Rock Social Club Sat., September 6, 5:00pm Minneapolis (Downtown)
The line between noisy pop and avant-garde noise gets smaller with every release from Xiu Xiu. They mix up folk, punk, and ambient noise with slices of almost everything else you can think of to create music that's catchy and personal while at the same time feeling icy and distant. It's... More >>
Baby Loves Disco Trocaderos Sat., September 6, 2:00pm-5:00pm
more dates/times 		Minneapolis (Downtown)
It may have been quite awhile since you last had your soul crushed at a dance club, but the general experience hasn't changed much. Girls still cry in the bathroom, boys dance out of rhythm, and then there're the lightweights spitting up after too much overstimulation. All of these things could... More >>

more dates/times 		Minneapolis (South)
It's been nearly six years since the plane crash that killed Paul Wellstone and, the passage of time being what it is, his old Senate seat (which he was about to contest for a third term back in 2002) is up for grabs again. Wellstone! traces the man's life and career, from his college days in... More >>
30 Percent More Commercial First Amendment Gallery Daily from Sat., August 23 until Thu., September 25 Minneapolis (North & Northeast)
For one sweet and liberating month, the creative force of Puny Entertainment's 22 madly artistic minds will be unleashed on First Amendment Arts to create art for art's sake rather than for a corporate sponsor.

American Pottery Festival Northern Clay Center Sat., September 6, 9:30am-5:00pm
more dates/times 		Minneapolis (South)
Quick, name a world-renowned pottery artist. Okay, so maybe pottery isn't the most popular or well-known form of art. But that only amplifies the importance of the Northern Clay Center's annual pottery Woodstock, the American Pottery Festival. And here's the name of a potting genius to keep in... More >>
Bondage A-Go-Go Ground Zero Every week Saturday, 10:00pm Minneapolis (North & Northeast)

Concrete and Grass: Lowertown Music Festival Mears Park Sat., September 6, 12:00pm-10:00pm
more dates/times 		St. Paul (Downtown)
Lowertown St. Paul has been on a roll lately. Several summers ago I would have only recommended a trip to the region for the Farmers' Market, or perhaps for a glass of wine at the Black Dog before heading over to the Ordway for a show. However, in the past couple of weeks Lowertown has hosted... More >>
Design For the Other 90% Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Daily from Sat., May 24 until Sun., September 7 Suburbs
According to the press release for this show, 90 percent of the world's population, or 5.8 billion people, have no access (or sparse access) to products and services we take for granted. And while internet service and hearing-aid batteries are among the luxuries included in this list, the lack... More >>
From Sportswear to Streetwear The Goldstein Museum Of Design Daily from Sat., August 16 until Sun., November 2 St. Paul (Greater)
All the cool kids might think their Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are just hip canvas shoes. Ditto for Technicolor Nike Air Force Ones. But to the well-trained designer's eye, these kicks mark a significant departure in our fashion history: the idea that clothes designed to be worn for sports... More >>
Hindsight is Always 20/20 Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum Daily from Sat., August 23 until Sun., January 4 Minneapolis (Downtown)
As the Faces lamented in "Oh La La": I wish that I knew what I know now/When I was younger. Truer words are rarely spoken. In "Hindsight Is Always 20/20," New York-based artist and composer R. Luke Dubois explores this irony with a visual pun. In his 43 prints and light boxes, Dubois creates a... More >>

History Room: 20 Years of No Name The Soap Factory Daily from Sat., April 19 until Sun., October 26 Minneapolis (North & Northeast)
A lot has changed over the past 20 years. We've gone through three presidents. Macs became cool, then lame, then cool again. Alternative music became corporatized, then turned into emo. A lot has changed over the years for the Soap Factory as well. One of the oldest galleries in the Twin Cities... More >>
Minnesota Renaissance Festival Renaissance Festival Site Every week Saturday, Sunday from Sat., August 16 until Sun., September 28, 9:00am-7:00pm
more dates/times 		Suburbs
Olde tyme Europe wasn't a very happy place, what with pestilence, famine, war, and death joyriding around the continent on a pretty regular basis. Luckily, there were also some entertaining parts: jousting, booze, and theater principal among them. Minnesota's RenFest provides the fun without... More >>
Mike Elko; Ruthann Godollei: Unconventional Wisdom Minneapolis Institute Of Arts Daily from Fri., August 29 until Sun., October 26 Minneapolis (Downtown)

Walker On the Green: Artist Designed Miniature Golf Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 24 until Sun., September 7, 10:00am-8:00pm Suburbs
Walker Art Center's two brand-new, seven-hole mini golf courses aren't your average putt-putt experience. They don't have oversize windmill blades covering the tunnel to the hole, or any other mini golf clichés. Artists designed the holes around the theme "Green," and were given the... More >>
Richard Prince: Spiritual America Walker Art Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., March 14 until Sun., September 14 Minneapolis (Downtown)
Can an artist simultaneously celebrate and critique pop culture? Those familiar with the incredibly varied work of Richard Prince have seen appropriation, pop culture, and cultural criticism battle it out over the span of his 30-year career. His medium of expression varies greatly, from... More >>
Statements: Beuys, Flavin, Judd Walker Art Center Daily from Thu., May 15 until Sun., July 12 Minneapolis (Downtown)
At first glance, it might be hard to find a common thread between these three artists, other than hastily applying a "Minimalism" tag to their work or noting that the bulk of their work came out of the 1960s and '70s. Joseph Bueys often worked with felt and manipulated found objects,... More >>
The Lost Empire: Photographer to the Tsar The Museum Of Russian Art Daily from Mon., May 5 until Wed., October 1 Minneapolis (South)
If there is one thing to be said about Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, it's that he was ambitious. He was a chemist and photographer who merged his passions by designing a camera and method to view black-and-white negatives in color. At the beginning of the 20th century, he took... More >>
The One Show: Advertising + Design + Interactive MCAD Gallery Daily from Sun., August 24 until Wed., September 24 Minneapolis (Downtown)
MCAD's "The One Show" is like the anti-Superbowl, or the antithesis to the increasingly mundane annual British Television Advertising Awards at the Walker. The last two offer a place for humorous and slightly weird TV ads. "The One Show," on the other hand, showcases ads that are creative,... More >>
