How to Survive the Winter (As an Artist)

  • Wild Haare Salon Northrup King Building (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, multicolor leaves, thats right-- it's fall in Minnesota. Summer has officially come to a close and we all have a love/hate relationship with the current season because we know winter is right around the corner. 

Driving through the snow, struggling with SAD, and trying not to freeze are some of our least favorite things to deal with and if you're from MN-- you know what we're talking about. 

Winter can be especially hard for artists whether you're a performer, writer, or any creative since making a living is already a difficult task without the extra 6 inches of snow. 

Luckily we're here to provide you with some tips and connections (and food!) before it gets too cold! 

Come join us
at the Wild Hare Salon and Gallery as we provide you with current opportunities for artists in the cities, options for artist housing, and entertainment.

This will be the first of several meetings to determine which fashion designers, vendors, and models will be involved in the first Minnejuku. These meetings will be open to the public and to all ages.

Over 100 artists have come together in a group exhibition comprising various mediums and expressions in honor of the Great Horned One and now any fantastical creatures they want to create.

The Unicorn shares its knowledge with all who seek it with a pure heart!

The spirit of the Unicorn has once more drawn together a group of artists from the magical kingdom of the Twin Cities, who are joined in their tributes by artists and craftspeople from kingdoms far and wide throughout the country. Their magical beasts shall preside over another night of fantastical art, live performances by” Planchette Burns” and “The Preludes to a Blizzard”
