ART
Jeff Hettwer
With the untimely passing of Jeff Hettwer, the world instantly became a little less beautiful. A vibrant and talented artist, Jeff was tragically killed
in a car accident just over three weeks ago, and even as someone who
knew him only slightly, I can say without hesitation that his bright
shine will be missed by friends, family, and the art community as a
whole. Jeff Hettwer was a passionate artist who was always happy to show and talk about his work with friends and strangers alike, and his studio in the Northrup King Building
was constantly bursting with color and personality. It’s really no
wonder that a memorial art show, at the Walker Art Center no less, has
been organized in his honor tonight. Come take in the amazing work of
this prolific local artist who left us way too soon.
6pm-11pm, Walker Art Center Skyline Room, 1750 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis
FILM

yes, maybe even a little biking. The festival, just one of many being held around the world this summer,
kicks off July 9 at 8 p.m. with a Bikes Rock party at the 7th Street Entry. The screenings begin on July 10 with a showing of the beloved
1979 sports classic *Breaking Away*. Screenings will be held at the

MUSIC
Reloaded Wednesdays
This
new weekly music night at the Turf Club pays homage to the good old
days, namely the long-dead and sorely missed Groove Garden series Freeloaded Wednesdays, which ruled The Front back in the late
focuses on hip-hop, r&b, and jazz, with a promise of "no fucking
rock music", according to their Myspace page. Tonight’s edition will
feature the cool, cool tunes of Burning City Skyline, Aaron Rice,
Tarlton, and resident record-spinner DJ Anton. Want to make an evening
of it? Hit up greasy but tasty neighborhood spots such as The Best
Steakhouse or Checkerboard Pizza – all within a block of the Turf.
9pm, Turf Club, 1601 University Avenue, St.Paul, $4
