| All I Want for Christmas Is 700 Billion Dollars: Our 50th Noel Brave New Workshop Theatre |
Every week Saturday from Sat., November 29 until Sat., January 10, 7:00pm 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| Robert Rauschenberg: Prints/Editions 1962-78 Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., October 4 until Sun., March 15 | Uptown/Eat Street | |

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 >> |

| 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 >> |
