Who isn’t concerned.

On Saturday, April 13 we invite you to the Firehouse to join Mark Valdez, Mixed Blood’s Artistic Director, for a conversation with guests, including Elizabeth Glidden, Deputy Executive Director of the Minnesota Housing Partnership.

Do you know where you are going to live when you get old? Join us for a conversation and story swap about the current state of housing for older adults. We’ll play a new game, eat some cheesecake, and imagine a future where no one is unhoused.

Seniors are the fastest-growing demographic across the state. With a unique set of care and housing needs, we have an opportunity to reimagine and create equitable housing policies. This Chit Chat is a chance to talk about the challenges to address this need and discuss our desires for the future.

This event is research for The Pasture, a new play by Mark-n-Sparks about Senior Housing.

Q***r zines were not just a creative outlet, nor an informational resource, but a revolutionary way of connecting and uniting Q***rs in a time when Q***rness was heavily politicised and censored.

Kick off Pride month with some LGBTQ+ history Thursday June 1st from 7-9pm. Telling Q***r History will be partnering with the MN Historical Society and Mill City Museum to host a closing story circle event for this exhibit. Can you believe this is the MN Historical first LGBTQ+ specific exhibit! Go out to show them we want and need more of this!

Celebrate the opening of "Going Out, Coming In: LGBTQ+ Spaces in Downtown Minneapolis." The exhibit details q***r resistance, love, and identity formation amid the evolution of downtown through the 20th century.

The exhibit features sites where q***r people found or created community while addressing the systemic challenges of legal and extralegal discrimination, urban renewal, and HIV/AIDS. It is part of an ongoing partnership between Twin Cities Pride and the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS). It is inspired by the Twin Cities LGBTQ+ History Tours developed by TC Pride and MNHS in 2022.

A cash bar and free appetizers will be available. Musical experience will be curated by DJ Michel.Be.

The event and exhibit are located in the museum’s central Mill Commons, and the exhibit is free and open to the public during regular museum hours through October 8, 2023.
