SUMMARY:Shared Selves: Final Exhibition of the Artist-in-Residence Cohort
DESCRIPTION:“Shared Selves” marks the culminating showcase of our current Artist-in-Residence cohort—a celebration of collective creativity\, mutual witnessing\, and the power of community-rooted art. Throughout their residency\, each artist has explored new dimensions of their practice while building meaningful connections with one another. This final exhibition brings those journeys into conversation.\n\nFor this special closing show\, each artist was invited to turn their creative attention toward a fellow cohort member. Through a process of interview\, reflection\, and artistic interpretation\, they created an original portrait that reveals not only the subject—but the relationship\, resonance\, and shared space between artists These portraits will be unveiled for the first time at the exhibition opening.\nAlongside these collaborative works\, each artist will present the final pieces developed during their residency. Together\, these works trace the evolution of their artistic voices and the shared learning that shaped their time in residence.\n\n“Shared Selves” is both an ending and an opening: a testament to what becomes possible when queer artists create together\, see one another fully\, and choose to share themselves with the world.\n\nLight refreshment will be served.\nFree street parking.

SUMMARY:"As Above\, So Below" Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:“As Above\, So Below” by Morgan LaCasse (@morguedesign) opens at the Pride Cultural Arts Center on October 10th\, 5-8pm. \n“As above\, so below” is a concept that drives many mystical traditions\, including tarot and astrology: the idea that there’s a connection between the higher universe and our small\, human lives below. Understanding one can lead to insights about the other. But engaging with divination doesn’t require spirituality or knowledge about traditions. The major themes and symbols in tarot\, standardized by the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck\, represent universal feelings\, experiences\, and relationships that have inspired thousands of tarot deck illustration projects\, including one by Morgue. This gallery marks the halfway point of their project\, with ~40 oversized prints that re-interpret the RWS cards through the lens of pop culture and video games to create a whimsical interpretation of the classic archetypes. \nThis Arts & Culture Vibrant Storefronts is funded\, in part\, by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.

SUMMARY:Queer Book Launch: Midnight at the Cinema Palace at Magers & Quinn
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the launch of Christopher Tradowsky’s debut novel\, MIDNIGHT AT THE CINEMA PALACE. Tradowsky will be in conversation with local author Lindsay Starck. \nThis tender\, exuberant novel about a young man navigating coming of age in ’90s San Francisco is for readers of Garth Greenwell and André Aciman. \nWalter Simmering is searching for love and purpose in a city he doesn’t realize is fading away—San Francisco in 1993\, at the height of the AIDS epidemic and the dawn of the tech revolution. Out of college\, out of the closet\, and transplanted from the Midwest\, Walter is irresistibly drawn from his shell when he meets Cary Menuhin and Sasha Stravinsky\, a dynamic couple who live blithely beyond the boundaries of gender and sexuality. Witty and ultra-stylish\, Cary and Sasha seem to have stepped straight out of a sultry film noir\, captivating Walter through a shared obsession with cinema and Hollywood’s golden age. \nAs the three embark on adventures across the city\, filled with joie de vivre\, their lively friendship evolves in unexpected ways. When Walter befriends Lawrence\, a filmmaker and former child actor living with HIV\, they pursue a film project of their own\, with hilarious and tragic results. \nMidnight at the Cinema Palace is a vibrant and nostalgic exploration of young souls discovering themselves amidst the backdrop of a disappearing city. Christopher Tradowsky’s astonishing debut captures the essence of ’90s queer culture and the complex lives of friends seeking an aesthetically beautiful and fulfilling way of life. \nChristopher Tradowsky lived in San Francisco throughout the 1990s and drew inspiration from his time there for this book. He was also inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando\, and says that “While Orlando has become the patron saint of gender fluidity\, Woolf demonstrated that an entire novel\, in both subject and style\, could be a love letter from start to finish.” In addition to the J. Michael Samuel Prize from the Lambda Literary Foundation\, Tradowsky was also the recipient of the BLOOM Literary Journal Prize for fiction in 2013. He earned a PhD in art history from UCLA. He teaches undergraduate art history and mentors in the creative writing MFA program at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. He lives in St. Paul with his husband. \nLindsay Starck was born in Wisconsin and raised in the Milwaukee Public Library. She is the author of the novels Noah’s Wife (2016) and Monsters We Have Made (2023)\, which has been named a finalist for the Minnesota Book Awards. Her short prose has appeared in Ploughshares\, the New England Review\, AGNI\, and the Southern Review\, among other places\, and has been awarded a Pushcart Prize. She currently writes and teaches in Minneapolis\, where she lives with her husband and her cattle dog.
