The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series powered by TruArtSpeaks (Urgent Art Series) is a year-long residency at Ice House in Minneapolis, MN. Root Music is the first of twelve events happening monthly, every third Saturday,* in celebration of TruArtSpeaks' 20th year anniversary. Founded in 2006, by Tish Jones, the arts &amp; culture organization based in Saint Paul has a long history of providing platforms for artists to share timely and innovative work, this series is no different. The Urgent Art Series will invite new and true collaborators to share work that speaks to both the nightly theme and the series' invitation—urgent and emergent performance art. Known for being bold in their creative work, TruArtSpeaks has curated a year of creative expression that will move the crowd, the needle, and change forward through creative cultural expression.

The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series is Sponsored by Minnesota Public Radio.

Tickets are available via Ice House; more information is available via our website.
