Outformation Cabooze Sun., September 7, 8:00pm Minneapolis (Downtown)
Atlanta's Outformation was formed in 2002 by guitarist Sam Holt, who also continued playing with his other band, Widespread Panic, until last year. As a parting gift, his WP mates collaborated on the simmering title track of Outformation's second album, Traveler's Rest. As might be expected,... More >>
American Pottery Festival Northern Clay Center Sun., September 7, 9:30am-2:00pm 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 >>
Concrete and Grass: Lowertown Music Festival Mears Park Sun., September 7, 12:00pm-8:00pm 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 >>
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 >>
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. Not that the collective's work for corporate sponsors is bad or bland. In fact,... More >>
Balls Southern Theater Every week Saturday, 12:00am Minneapolis (Downtown)
The first time I went to Balls, the most memorable performance of about a dozen involved a man shouting atheist poetry from inside a refrigerator box. The second time I went, a musician who was in the midst of a small tour through the Midwest stopped by for a heartbreaking acoustic guitar... 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)

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 >>
Roy Hargrove Quintet Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant Every week Monday, Sunday from Sun., September 7 until Mon., September 8 Minneapolis (Downtown)
Enough of a maverick for prime listeners to expect the unexpected, Roy Hargrove does it again by focusing on the sophisticated elegance of post-bop jazz on his new album, Earfood (Groovin' High/Emarcy). Equally thrilling on trumpet and flugelhorn, Hargrove has run the gamut from new... 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 >>
