Inside A 1920s Art Deco Theater In Minneapolis, Classic Films Still Play For A Few Dollars

The popcorn at one neighborhood movie house gets real butter, and staff may add it halfway through filling the bag and again on top. That detail alone made me stop scrolling. The building dates to 1948, and it still has high-back seats, a mod lobby lounge, and art deco touches throughout. There is only one screen, so every showing feels like the main event of the night.

Open Studios in NE, Colson Whitehead, Evan Clark Does ‘Jesse Ventura’: This Week’s Best Events

Welcome to Event Horizon, your weekly roundup of the best events in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and beyond. Tom Wilson may not be the first name to spring up when you think of great record producers, but throughout the ’60s, this Black staffer at Columbia University consistently found himself at the center of the action. Steven E. Jones’s Everything is Everything: Tom Wilson and Pop Music in 1966 sets out to learn why, and to restore Wilson’s contributions to the public record. By that landmark year, Wilson had already run a jazz label that released albums from Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor, worked on Dylan’s first five records and got “Like a Rolling Stone” on tape, and produced Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence.” He would go on to salvage the recordings that would become The Velvet Underground & Nico and worked with Frank Zappa’s the Mothers of Invention. The ’60s, man. Free. 6 p.m. 3032 Minnehaha Ave., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Keith Harris.

Wild Beauty Brings Botanical Art to Life at the Bell Museum

“How do we go about communicating the intricacies and beauties of plants with people?” asks Susan Wilkins, garden curator of the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. It’s a question with cause for pause; translating the mysteries of the bulbs, buds, and blossoms that so often go unnoticed beneath our feet and beyond our line of sight is an undertaking of a uniquely scientific and spiritual nature. Perhaps only art can capture the essence of what it means to observe so fully.
