Tomorrow, Saturday 3rd February, the art exhibition Arctic Highways opens at the American Swedish Institute in downtown Minneapolis. This will be the sixth time the travelling exhibition has had its vernissage since it premiered in Washington DC in March 2022. Since then, it has been shown in Yukon, Chicago, New York, and Seattle.
But as early as this evening – 2nd February – the event ”First Look” will be held, i.e. a preview which also offers a packed programme with music, talks and much more. For example, a panel discussion with Tomas Colbengtson on the panel, among others.
So if you happen to be in Minneapolis today and don't know what to do this evening…
