| American Red Cross Blood Drive Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park | Wed., January 7, 8:00am-2:00pm | Como | |
 As William Shakespeare once wrote, "If you prick us do we not bleed?" We do indeed, and when we bleed too much it's nice to know that the blood of others can help us survive. But much like clean water or air, blood is sometimes scarce or unavailable. According to the American Red Cross, though... More >> |

| Magic Black Pumas; the Mevissens Big V's | Wed., January 7, 9:00pm | Midway/ Frogtown | |
 This Wednesday night, St. Paul's Big V's is showcasing a pair of local alt-rock holdouts, Magic Black Pumas and the Mevissens. No matter how cool the thought of a performance piece that somehow combines the flavor of the Black Panther Party with the creepiness of David Blaine's Street Magic... More >> |

| 32 X 4 Minneapolis Central Library | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., December 12 until Sun., March 1 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The new photography exhibition, "32X4," at the Minneapolis Central Library proves the dusty cliché, "The more things change, the more they stay the same," to be true about Twin Cities neighborhoods. For the project, local photographers Michael Dvorak, Dusty Hoskovec, Sarah Stacke, and... More >> |

| Eduardo Blidner: Argentine Drag Queens Icebox Quality Framing And Gallery | Daily from Fri., November 7 until Wed., January 7 | Northeast | |
 Argentine photographer Eduardo Blidner is no stranger to Minneapolis's Icebox Gallery. In 2000 the gallery hosted Blidner's first solo show, which launched his series "Tango Argentino" around the world. Last year Icebox was the first gallery in the world to host Blidner's globetrotting... More >> |

| Avant-garde Artist's Books Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 24 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The cliché "don't judge a book by its cover" definitely doesn't belong at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' new exhibit "Breaking with Convention: Avant-Garde Artist's Books." That's for a couple of reasons: first, because some of the books won't even have conventional covers, and of... More >> |
|||
| Barhopping: TownTalk Diner Town Talk Diner | Daily | Seward/ Longfellow/ Minnehaha | |
 Town Talk Diner, with its brightly lit sign recalling a '50s movie theater, offers classic diner food, fair-inspired food, and fancy meat dishes all on one menu. The shakes and malts are hardly the stuff of kiddie drinks and more innocent times: An Irish float is sweetly boozy with its pour of... More >> |
|||
| Barhopping: Sapor Cafe & Restaurant Sapor Cafe And Bar | Daily | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 When I first visited Sapor about five years ago, I thought that the restaurant would not be around too long. Not because the food was bad, or the wine list poor, or the service surly, but because the place was completely empty, and restaurants around the North Loop sometimes have a short shelf... More >> |

| Happy Hour at Pracna on Main Pracna On Main | Daily | University | |
 Built in 1890, Pracna on Main Boasts quite an impressive history: It is the oldest restaurant on the oldest street in Minneapolis. Ye olde hotspot features excellent river views, a gorgeous patio (which is too cold to enjoy this month, alas), and close proximity to St. Anthony Main Movie... More >> |

| Holiday Traditions Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Fri., November 28 until Sun., January 11 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Believe it or not, there was a time when people didn't decorate their front yards with light-up, animatronic reindeer and giant inflatable Santa Clauses. In fact, once, long, long ago, there were no NASCAR or talking Star Trek Christmas tree ornaments. This might also come as a shock, but... More >> |
|||
| INDIA: Public Places, Private Spaces Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sun., October 26 until Sun., January 18 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 When we think of art from India, most of us probably conjure images of Bollywood films or Hindu deities with four arms. This massive show of contemporary Indian photography and video art at MIA promises to be eye-opening, playing with some Indian traditions and stereotypes and exploding others.... More >> |
|||
| Karaoke Night U Otter Stop Inn | Daily, 9:00pm | University | |
 The outside of U Otter Stop Inn features a mural of a dapper otter decked out in a top hat, suit, and bow tie, his googly eyes and martini glass saluting patrons knowingly. Step inside and you will find a long bar filled with disco balls, giant football helmets, and electric rodents drinking... More >> |

| Looking Into Likeness: Portraits in the Weisman Collection Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., March 7 | University | |
 The Weisman's collection of portraits makes one thing very clear: The meaning of "portait" can be very flexible. Sure, the exhibit includes the museum's standard portraits on display, including Manet's painting of Edgar Allan Poe. And there's nothing wrong with time-honored techniques like... More >> |

| Love Me, Love My Questionable Art Bryant-Lake Bowl Theatre |
Sun., January 11, 6:00pm more dates/times |
Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Ballerinas dancing en pointe to The Nutcracker, this show ain't. Nor is it classic jazz or tap. Love Me, Love My Questionable Art is a fusion of dance, performance, and theater, guaranteed to be "untested, untried, but true." Minneapolis-based trio Mad King Thomas help put together wacky,...

| Mysteries of the Great Lakes Science Museum Of Minnesota | Daily from Mon., December 1 until Thu., January 8 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 This holiday season, when you're looking to take in a movie and get away from the hustle, bustle, and stress, forget holiday blockbusters like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Spirit. Opt instead for The Mysteries of the Great Lakes, playing for just a few more days. The 45-minute... More >> |

| Robert Rauschenberg: Prints/Editions 1962-78 Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., October 4 until Sun., March 15 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Forty or 50 years on, it's hard to imagine now the manic energy of the art world in the 1960s, or the way that Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, in particular, blew the doors off of artistic sensibilities at the time. Their libertine experimentalism bridged abstract expressionism and pop... More >> |

| Rollerdome Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome |
Mon., December 1, 5:00pm-9:00pm more dates/times |
Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Hardcore runners, being the obsessed, possessed, driven, determined, and slightly nutty athletes they are, rarely let anything keep them from pounding the pavement. Winter's deathtrap-icy sidewalks and lung-punishing cold air, however, provide probably the least appealing environment in which... More >> |

| Sleeping in Style: Textiles for the Bedroom Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 31 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The way in which people sleep says a lot about their culture. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts' bedding exhibit, "Style: Textiles for the Bedroom," explores this concept. It compiles blankets, bedcovers, and bedroom items from nations and cultures across the globe to bring viewers new... More >> |
|||
| Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis Walker Art Center | Daily from Sat., October 18 until Sun., January 11 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Late Japanese artist Tetsumi Kudo is sort of like the pinball-ish game pachinko: While hugely popular in Japan and select other places on the map, he just never took off in America. Sure, some American art scholars can talk about his impact on postwar art movements. But despite the 18 years... More >> |

| Text/Messages: Books By Artists Walker Art Center | Daily from Thu., December 18 until Sun., April 19 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The definitions of "book" and "book arts" have changed drastically in the last 30 or 40 years. No longer is the art form limited to ornately constructed tomes made of leather and gold leaf. Modern books destined for museums demand the viewer to, pardon the pun, read between the lines. In fact,... More >> |

| Danny Saathoff: The Mechanical Alchemist Gallery 360 | Daily from Sat., November 8 until Sun., January 11 | Edina | |
 In the parlance of the art world, which seems to put a premium on stuffiness, Danny Saathoff's new show, "The Mechanical Alchemist," is a collection of "interactive assemblages." But don't let the terms fool you; the art is very anti-stuffy. You can think of the pieces as artistic Bop-Its.... More >> |

| Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Swiss Guard Minnesota History Center | Daily from Sat., September 27 until Sun., January 11 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing. Everybody knows that the pope and his posse at the Vatican live surrounded by ornate and priceless treasures amid ancient buildings designed and... More >> |

| Ice Skating at the Depot The Depot | Daily from Thu., December 11 until Sun., March 22 | ||
 Sure, there are tons of places to get your skate on in Minnesota, but those who know their outside edges from their inside know that the Depot is the caviar of the Minnesota skating rinks. Actually, as a rink, it ranks pretty high up nationally as well; USA Today and MSNBC have both included... More >> |

| Open House: If These Walls Could Talk Minnesota History Center Library | Daily from Thu., October 23 until Mon., January 31 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 >"Open House: If These Walls Could Talk," is the recreation of a house that still exists in the Railroad Island neighborhood of St. Paul. The Minnesota History Museum is always bursting with hands-on exhibits, and "Open House" is no exception. Upon entering the house, every object in the... 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 >> |
