Problem: Too Many Tweedy’s
I have too many Jeff Tweedy tickets than required. The show is tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29), 7:30pm in Rochester, Minn.
Solution: I am offering the tickets at nearly half off … say, $25 each … for the best music related haiku (as judged by Paul Lundgren).
Haiku entries accepted until noon on Tuesday, March 29.
It’s that time of year where I’m in need of your retired steel-tined leaf rake. It cannot be plastic or bamboo- it must be steel. I chop the tines off for thumb piano keys and I need a whole lot of them for a music program/workshop I’m doing later in the spring. If your rake is missing all but one of it’s tines, I’ll still take it. You can contact me through yelling loudly or the internet thingy.
I posted about a week ago about the exhibition titled Furniture Music which will be held at the Old European Bakery in Duluth, and I just wanted to write an update.
The event will be held on Friday, March 25, from 7 to 10pm, during which there will be free food, beer and best of all … art!
Neighborhood Housing Services of Duluth is beginning an arts-based revitalization along East 4th Street. The first step in this exciting process is by adding new artist-designed banners along the corridor and replacing the existing banners. NHS will be paying a commission to the selected artist(s) as well as the fabrication of the winning design. Visit the news tab on nhsduluth.org or click here. Any additional questions, contact Dan Ollhoff with NHS at (218) 727-8604 ext. 207 or email him at dollhoff @ nhsduluth.org.

The Minnesota State Arts Board is conducting a census to find out just how many Minnesotans are “engaged in creative expression.”
Starting last week, the state agency has been encouraging people to fill out an online survey indicating whether they are an artist, work in the arts, or help facilitate or promote creative expression. The state legislature directed the State Arts Board and the state’s eleven regional arts councils to conduct the census to help measure the influence of arts in the state.
Brian Strub, communications & government relations director with the MN State Arts Board, explains the parameters this way:
We are asking participation from anyone state wide who, professionally or personally, sings, acts, dances, writes, draws, paints, sculpts, illustrates, photographs, films, knits, weaves, directs, plays an instrument, composes, shares stories, designs, or any other form of creative expression; and any agency, business, facility, or organization that produces, presents, or promotes creative expression. I’ve been telling people, “If you’re creative, be proud. Be counted.”
Strub says the MN Arts Count will continue through the end of April. You can participate in the survey here.
Hello all! I am pleased to invite you to a wonderful, spectacular art opening on Friday, March 25. The exhibit will be open from 7-10 pm at the Old European Bakery on West First street. This event is free and open to the public!
