The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

You know you're getting old when, if left in charge of suggesting happenings to the general populace, you end up plugging panel discussions two days straight. But there are many reasons why the WARM and the Feminist Art Movement talk--again, at the Weisman--is of interest to me. First, the old Women's Art Registry Gallery in the Wyman Building is mentioned in one of this month's feature stories (that collective being a precursor to WARM)--but the writer never goes on to say what exactly became of these artists. There's also a concurrent exhibition running at the Weisman, WARM: 12 Artists of the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota, which takes a look at feminist art from here and beyond. And finally, with the boom of starchitecture that's been cropping up across town as of late, I figured why not take a step back to appreciate The Fred, which remains one of the most gorgeous structures in the city, far as I can tell.
