What a rich month September was here in the Twin Ports, and it appears that October is shaping up to be an equally exceptional month of activities for patrons of the Northland arts scene. Here's a listing of events that I am currently aware of.
Thursday, October 1
There was an opening reception for Sue Rauschenfels at the Red Mug in Superior. I felt bad missing it but was determined to cover the Design Duluth event that same time frame and will get a chance later in the month to grab a lunch there and check out her new work.

Duluth Children’s Museum
This event is free for members and anyone paying admission for the day.
In honor of their Grand Opening Weekend for their new fall exhibit "Puppets on Parade," they will be hosting 2 professional puppet shows presented by master puppeteers Gustavo and Julie Boada of Minneapolis. "Skeletons in the Closet" is a colorful and touching story celebrating love and the cycle of life. The show is a bilingual, Spanish and English, story of children who are remembering their grandparents who have passed away. As the children follow their curiosity, they discover the meaning of Dia de los Muertos, a.k.a the Day of the Dead, and that the connection they have with their grandparents continues beyond death.
If the event sounds like it has Mary Plaster's fingerprints on it, you are correctamento. The event is brought to you in part by Mary Plaster, artist-in-residence, along with the fall exhibit "CHANGES: Puppets on Parade".
This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to appropriations from the Minnesota State Legislature’s general and arts and cultural heritage funds

The following night after Sarah Brokke's opening reception at the DAI, the PRØVE Gallery is hosting a tandem event called Ripple Effect in which artists share work that reflects other influences.
