On Saturday, May 11, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) will hold its Spring Seasonal Saturday event focused on the theme Scenic Splendor, inspired by the exhibition Re/Framing The View: Nineteenth-century American Landscapes, on view now at MMAM through August 4, 2024. On loan from the New Bedford Whaling Museum (New Bedford, Massachusetts), Re/Framing The View takes a layered approach to looking at landscape painting and artists from the 1800s. Seasonal Saturdays strive to reduce intimidation and increase comfortable access to the arts for everyone by offering fun-filled, inviting days, with $1 admission, free transportation, and 30-minute guided tours. The event will include a live oil painting demonstration, live music, and more. Learn more.

Theatre du Mississippi presents a production of the play Baby I’ll Turn the Sky Green for You by Taylor Sklenar, directed by Rae Peter.
Part One: In a ravaged 2051, a nurse tries desperately to keep her father on life support, despite her nihilistic sister’s desire to pull the plug. As the sisters quarrel, questions of their father’s past emerge, pushing their relationship to its breaking point.
Part Two: In 2019, the cast has transformed to play the older generation, and the decisions and secrets of the past come to life. An intriguing look at the responsibility that we have to other generations and the personal costs of action and inaction.
Tickets are $15 pre-sale or $20 at the door. Learn more.
