| Dirty Dozen Brass Band Cabooze | Sat., October 11, 8:30pm | Uptown/Eat Street | |
They never did add up to 12 nor neglect their laundry (as far as I know), but the Dirty Dozen have always taken the brass band part of their moniker seriously. Their alternately raging, chortling, bristling horns revitalized and revolutionized New Orleans's brass-band tradition by stirring bop... More >> |

Sat., October 11, 5:00pm more dates/times |
Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
In case you've been too busy catching up on old episodes of The Nanny or protesting the timber industry by living in one of those big trees again, you need to know that while you were away, Fleet Foxes stormed the music world like gangbusters.

Daily from Thu., October 16 until Fri., October 17, 11:00am-6:00pm more dates/times |
Shakopee | |
While pretty much every other local corn farm is reaping a state record-size harvest this summer of around 1.2 billion bushels, a couple of farms are growing revenue from the fall tradition of corn mazes. This year Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee, next to Canterbury Park, is a 14-acre ode to the... More >> |

| Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sun., September 14 until Sun., January 4 | Uptown/Eat Street | |
It might not be well known, but Minnesota is actually a hotbed for architecture by 20th- and 21st-century masters. Whether it's Frank Gehry's bendy-metal Weisman Art Museum, César Pelli's Wells Fargo Center and Minneapolis Central Library, or Frank Lloyd Wright's Lindholm service station... More >> |

| From Sportswear to Streetwear The Goldstein Museum Of Design | Daily from Sat., August 16 until Sun., November 2 | Como | |
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 | University | |
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 | University | |
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 >> |

| Macbeth Minneapolis Theater Garage |
Mon., October 20, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Uptown/Eat Street | |
Stacia Rice has played a number of heart-warming female leads in recent memory (Jane Eyre at the Guthrie, Anne Sullivan in Torch's The Miracle Worker), but this fall she threatens to trample all of that goodwill as original mean queen Lady Macbeth. She'll perform opposite Sean Haberle... 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| 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.
