Public Functionary

There are just a few hours left in Day 2 of Art-A-Whirl, the largest open artist studio tour in the country, so don’t miss these hidden gems across Northeast Minneapolis tonight ✨ Keep the good times rollin’ with live music, LIVE TATTOOS, art vendors, and craft ciders at @sociablecider . Then gallop on over to @mnicecream for WRODEO DIVE featuring bull riding presented by @minneapolisrodeo alongside 30+ local artists, food trucks, and more 🤠🔥 Run don’t walk to @lisaeliasmetal behind the Waterbury Building for live music, art vendors, food trucks, and an outdoor art party. Don’t miss Cinema Red @pfunctionary main gallery in the Northrup King Building, in partnership with the artists and collectives behind @cinefilmufest . Then cap off the night by hopping over to @recoverybikeshop to borrow a bike for an hour or all weekend and roll with @sparcle.bike at 8:15pm tonight for a Disco Cowboy night ride through the Arts District.

I noticed P.F.Studios was making coffee again and had to stop in 😊 There’s an amazingly well done cinematic exhibit in their gallery on first floor right now. So visually stunning. Check it out if you’re at @northrupkingbuilding for art-a-whirl! @pfstudios.mpls @pfunctionary #nemplsartsdistrict #mnlocalart #mnlocalartist #bestofmn #thingstodoinmpls

"[Minnesota] has people who are hungry to create and people who are hungry to enjoy." says Mariah Hanson at AAW 2025. Art-A-Whirl is the biggest Art crawl in the country and Minnesotans are proud to share their art and connect with locals and non-locals in a shared space full of creativity and innovation. Join us this Art-A-Whirl, May 15-17th

Happy Tuesday! I’m super excited to share that I was accepted into the @pfstudios.mpls community studios program, which includes a new studio space! I’m honored, excited, and humbled and can’t thank them enough for seeing something in me and my work and offering this support. Here’s a peek at how it’s coming together. So if you’re planning to come through for Art-A-Whirl, I’ll now be in studio #285 at the same building @northrupkingbuilding !!!! Sign up to my email list via the link in my bio for a full update coming this week!

Thank you @pfunctionary for sharing my photo! I loved this program and hearing all the different artists speak about their work! Thank you for creating this space! I hope to attend more events. #pfunctionary #keepmakingart

The ‘Dear Beloved’//‘Jaik from the Inside’ double screening @pfunctionary was a SUCCESS. Thank you to everyone who supported along the way(especially @artfromtheinsidemn @endslaverymn and @peoplepeoplemedia ) We are extremely grateful for your keen eyes and participation at the post-screening panel as well. These relationships are the lifeblood for developing abolitionist (oop there goes the algo) frameworks and truly transgressive arts communities. Please follow @jared_cal to see how you can help spread the word about his growing project and support his homies in Austin and their friends behind bars. And keep your 👀 peeled for more Cult Classics news this year. Credit to the @angely_cg for the awesome Handycam b-roll footage
