Saint Paul’s Year of Music, the Knight Foundation Arts Challenge, 89.3 The Current, Amsterdam Bar and Hall, curious incident, and McNally Smith College of Music present WAYFARER – a series of three immersive arts experiences that will transform and activate nontraditional venues in Saint Paul. The three spaces selected for this grant funded project will tell the story of Saint Paul’s transition from a river town, to an urban industrial hub, to a vibrant arts and cultural community. The location for the artful parties will be kept secret until 24-hours before the party begins.
WAYFARER is kicking off a series of three pop-up artful invasions of surprising party venues in Saint Paul. The first event will be April 22, and will bring together local band tiny deaths, DJ Jade (from The Current), visual artists Hamilton Ink Spot and Willetta DeYoung, and lighting designer Mary Shabatura for a night of transformative fun in a secret venue.
tiny deaths is the moody, dream-pop brainchild of producer Grant Cutler and vocalist Claire de Lune. Together, Cutler’s booming bass and lush soundscapes and de Lune’s rich, soulful vocals unite to form a wholly alive and fresh take on a moody, dreamy, ethereal sound bringing to mind bands like Phantogram, Beach House, and Purity Ring.
Wiletta De Young is a textile artist who mixes technology, design and textiles to create unique, transformative pieces.
Mary Shabatura is a Twin Cities based Lighting Designer. She designs for dance, opera, and theater, and frequently embraces non-traditional spaces in her designs. She holds a B.A. in Theater Arts from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.
