| Winter One-Nighters: A Not Too Distant Past Art Of This | Fri., December 5, 7:00pm | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
Though our minds often jump instantly to New York, Chicago is truly our big sister city to the east. The third-biggest city in the U.S., Chicago racks up cultural and historical points for its prohibition tomfoolery, for being a jazz hot spot, and for labor protests, among many, many other...

| Robin Asbell Magers & Quinn Booksellers | Sun., December 7, 5:00pm | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
I know. You know. We all know. Whole grains are good for you. They lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and could probably solve the economic crisis if given the chance. They're full of antioxidants, which combat free radicals that otherwise roam the corridors of our body,... More >> |

| All I Want for Christmas Is 700 Billion Dollars: Our 50th Noel Brave New Workshop Theatre |
Every week Thursday, Friday from Fri., November 28 until Fri., January 9, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Uptown/ Eat Street | |
While I can't speak for the entirety of humanity, in my experience a lot of things (daylight savings, income tax time, mortality) have a tendency to sneak up on a soul, and the holidays are a case in point. Travel by car or air, enforced proximity to loved ones, and a general air of taking... 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| Happy Hour at Herkimer's Herkimer Pub & Brewery | Daily from Wed., December 3 until Tue., December 9 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
Like Town Hall or Green Mill, Herkimer brews its own beer. Im not going to lie: Im not a big fan of it. Most varieties taste like lighter beer, and theres always a weird corn aftertaste. Try it, you might like it, but that said, you might want to order a mixed drink from the... 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| Switchbladecomb.com Record Party Uptown Bar & Cafe | Every week Monday, 9:00pm | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
"No Eagles. No Phil Collins. No Bummers." That's the motto of the dance night put on every Monday at the Uptown Bar by the folks at indie-centric pop culture blog Switchblade Comb, and to be honest it's a pretty open-ended one. Everybody who considers themselves a music geek tries to boost... More >> |

| The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Children's Theatre Company |
Every week Sunday from Sun., November 16 until Sun., December 28, 5:00pm more dates/times |
Uptown/ Eat Street | |
It's no easy thing being a child, with pressure and uncertainty lurking beneath the surface of even the most placid day, not to mention the humdrum routines us grownups burden them with in preparation for their own adulthood. It's no wonder the most resonant children's stories are essentially... More >> |

| Toys On Roids Soo Visual Arts Center | Daily from Fri., November 7 until Wed., December 24 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
Despite the title of this show, it is not a series of José Canseco Starting Lineup figurines on display. Although that would be kind of cool, too. The "roids" in Sean Tubridy's "Toys on Roids" do not refer to steroids, but to Polaroid photos. And the "toys" refers to, well, that's pretty... More >> |

| William Lamson: Actions Franklin Art Works | Daily from Fri., November 7 until Sat., December 20 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
Artist William Lamson's video collection "Actions" is perhaps the most entertaining art being created right now. This is not hyperbole. This is not exaggeration. This is not an opinion. This is irrefutable fact. For the project, Lamson made videos of different ways to pop black balloons. It... More >> |
