Join us for a conversation with artist María Berrío in conjunction with her exhibition “María Berrío: Songlines,” on view at Mia from September 12, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Berrío’s work brings us into worlds of flags fluttering in the air, humans enmeshed with the natural world, and birds flying into the unknown.
In discussion with Leslie Ureña, associate curator of Global Contemporary Art at Mia, and co-curator of the exhibition, Berrío will share more about the evolution of her practice and how she builds stories out of layers of paper, traces of graphite, swaths of watercolor paint, memory, and myths, as well as personal and global histories.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/161256/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Featuring Mary Jane Alm, Boyd Lee, Aimée Lee, Paul Frantzich &amp; Tim Frantzich Laurel Canyon is a neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills region of the Santa Monica Mountains. The creative flowering that grew out of this part of Los Angeles in the 1960s and early 1970s produced some of the greatest music of that era, changing the culture and the lives of some of rock and roll’s most gifted artists. Imagine living down the road from Joni Mitchell or just upstairs from Jackson Browne. Imagine if all you had to do on a weekend night was walk down the street to someone’s house where they had a guitar and a piano—and their name was Neil Young, Graham Nash or Glenn Frey. Imagine if your neighbors were musicians starting bands called The Doors, The Byrds, Crosby Stills and Nash, The Monkees, The Eagles and The Mamas &amp; the Papas. Veteran singers Mary Jane Alm, Boyd Lee, Aimée Lee, Paul Frantzich and Timothy Frantzich, along with a stellar lineup of musicians, will take you through the streets of this magical place and time. You’ll hear the stories of some of your favorite musicians. Your memory will be flooded with songs from The Association, The Turtles, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, Buffalo Springfield, Brian Wilson, The Jefferson Airplane and more—all who lived in this beautiful bubble of creativity, friendship, sunshine and music. This show brings together what happened in this special place when it was just the right time, just the right space, with just the right musicians—a moment in time that created the songs of Laurel Canyon. Happens on the following Dates:
<ul><li>Sep 17, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Sep 18, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Sep 19, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li></ul>

Loud &amp; Clear: #LIVIN Music Festival Returns Music and Community Combine to Break the Stigma Around Mental Health
Celebrate 8 Years of #LIVIN with Live Music, BBQ, Family Activities, Camping and Camaraderie&nbsp;

WHAT: 		8th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival in Elk River

Join us for the 8th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival, a two-day event to benefit the #LIVIN Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to prevent suicide by creating quality connections through&nbsp;everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships.&nbsp;

Funds from #LIVIN Music Festival are used to directly support the mission of LIVIN Foundation in preventing suicide through various programs like camps and retreats for families and individuals who lost a loved one to suicide, LIVIN Community Fund Financial grant program, suicide prevention training and education, and the mental health resource platform called LivinConnected.&nbsp;

Paul Thomas (PT) helped found the organization after losing his father to suicide in 2013. PT decided that instead of focusing on how his father died, he wanted to embrace the way he lived. “I needed to encourage others to TALK about depression and suicide instead of hiding it due to embarrassment. This way we could reduce the stigma associated with depression and other mental illness and maybe, just maybe, save a life in the process.”
Not only is the #LIVIN Music Festival an opportunity for connection, but PT says it’s a great value with the ability to see seven bands for less than $10 per band. “It’s the best band for your buck!” Join us for the most eclectic country music festival around and help us Start The Conversation, Listen with Intent and Get Busy #LIVIN! Remember it is ALWAYS a great day to be alive!

Lanterns Decorated to Remember Loved Ones Create a Breathtaking Moment of Serenity, Commemoration and Connection

	Annual Lantern Lighting Celebration at Lakewood Cemetery

Lakewood Cemetery invites the public to its annual Lantern Lighting Celebration on the weekend of September 18-19, 2026. The event offers an opportunity for people to remember loved ones and celebrate their lives by decorating and then releasing floating, candlelit lanterns onto Lakewood’s onsite lake. This event is open to the public.&nbsp;

At the event, people can decorate a paper lantern sleeve with favorite pictures, messages, personal sayings, poems, and other symbols of remembrance. At dusk, in a beautiful ceremony, attendees gather to release their lanterns onto Lakewood’s ten-acre lake, as the names of loved ones are read aloud accompanied by the stirring sound of bagpipes. The effect of the candlelit lanterns floating on the lake is breathtaking and magical, connecting people to their loved ones and to others who are remembering and grieving.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Throughout the event, guests can enjoy live music, food and refreshments from local food trucks, and the beauty of Lakewood’s scenic grounds. Self-guided tour brochures of the cemetery will also be available.&nbsp;

About Lakewood: A Place to Remember
Lakewood is a serene haven in the heart of Minneapolis’s renowned Chain of Lakes—a place to come together to honor, remember, and reflect. Since 1871, Lakewood’s 250 acres of urban memorial parkland have served as a community gathering place and a chronicle of our region’s traditions, cultures, and people. Home to more than 4,000 trees representing over 150 species, Lakewood is also an accredited Level II Arboretum, reflecting its commitment to stewardship, preservation, and the natural beauty that defines the landscape. A history keeper and a thought leader, Lakewood honors its roots as a landmark cemetery while reimagining its role in modern life through thoughtfully designed events, experiences, and spaces.

Today, Lakewood is making memorialization more relevant, accessible and inviting for new audiences and generations—with more creativity and choices.&nbsp;As a nonprofit organization governed by a board of trustees,&nbsp;Lakewood is committed to preserving and enhancing its grounds and architectural treasures and uses proceeds generated from activities and events for that purpose. Lakewood invites the public to explore all that it has to offer.

Edina Brand Launches Smarter Jumpsuit Design

KRE PRIME

Minneapolis — KRE Prime, an Edina-based adaptive brand, is putting a practical twist on one of fashion’s most versatile and often impractical, staples. KRE Prime is an adaptive brand focused on style, accessibility and innovative design. The jumpsuit includes one base pant and two interchangeable tops, allowing wearers to create multiple looks from a single set. Each piece can be worn separately or connected with a discreet zipper to form a full jumpsuit. Grady said the inspiration came from personal experience. Although she appreciated the clean, minimal look of jumpsuits, she found them difficult to wear in everyday situations. “I wanted something that felt effortless but also worked with the way people actually live,” she said. “It needed to be beautiful, but also practical.” That balance extends to accessibility. The design allows the bottom portion to be removed without taking off the top, offering a more flexible and comfortable option for people with a range of mobility needs. Made from structured stretch fabric using recycled materials, the jumpsuit is designed to hold its shape while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It is intended to transition easily from work to evening. Although KRE Prime operates as a digital-first brand, its roots are local. Grady, who launched the company in part to honor her late sister, said she wanted to create clothing that feels inclusive, thoughtful, and easy to wear. The Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit is now available in black and red, in sizes S through XL, priced at $150. Explore the Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit at kreprime.com.
