ART

On The Record has teamed up with Siiviis Gallery for a collaborative invitational pop-up art exhibition!

We’re featuring 75-ish local artists displaying one piece each - showcasing the multitudes of amazing artists we have right here in our own little corner of Lake Superior.

Some artists will be Siiviis Gallery residents, some from the broader arts community. We’re asking artists to submit a statement all about the value that art brings to community, the collective spirit here in our arts community, and/or what community means to them.

The vast majority of pieces will be for sale! Expect primarily QR code or Venmo payment. If you’re staying for the whole event or live locally, we hope you might leave any purchased art up to be showcased for the remainder of the exhibition (1 - 6 PM) and take them with you at the end or pick them up from Siiviis in the next day or two.

Check back here for a full list of featured artists!

A community/kids’ art and activities station will be run by Hannah G and friends.

Hannah, On The Record’s music history writer, will be heading the spot to get your craft on throughout the day until about 7pm-ish.

Make and take your own little piece of art or join in on some silly goosery with the activities she’s got planned.

The bubble extraordinaire will also be there to spread some delight.

LIVE PAINTERS WANTED!

If you or someone you know would love to do a little live show painting to these 45-minute sets, please get in touch with Kristi: thatsoundlady@gmail.com

DANCE

Not quite an afterparty, but a MEANWHILE PARTY!

Metal and heavy punk have a special place in this music community, but it’s not for everyone. So while the metal’s thrashing outside on the Earth Rider field stage, the MEANWHILE PARTY gets spicy 8 - 11 PM in the Cedar Lounge - with Salsa!

Simply Ballroom Studio instructors will be leading a free group lesson 8 - 9 PM, covering basic moves and turns in the styles of Merengue, Bachata, and Salsa. Then dance the night away 9 - 11 PM with DJ Francisco curating the party.

No experience or partner needed! Learn solo, with a friend, whoever. You choose if you learn leading, following, or a bit of both. These awesome instructors respect your boundaries.  

This part of the event is free and open to anyone 21+, including non-ticket-holders.

Simply Ballroom has been family-owned and operated since 1990. Over the past three decades, they’ve touched the lives of countless individuals through their platforms of dance education. Having earned national and international recognition, they’re dedicated to teaching students both the classical and practical elements of ballroom and social/partner dancing. They specialize in teaching social partner dancing and the classical styles of ballroom dance, such as Rumba, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Swing, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Argentine Tango, and many more. In the meantime before the Meanwhile Party, try out a class at their Lincoln Park Craft District studio!
