From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here. Click here.Cabaret of ancestorsMusician and cultural organizer Sarah Larsson wants people to know about singer-songwriter Carlisle Evans Peck's show “Iconoclasm,” which is touring in western Minnesota. She describes the show as part cabaret, part ritual, where the audience travels back in time to re-imagine stories from Carlisle's family through a queer and often trans lens. The show, originally developed as a Cedar Commission, will be at the YES! House in Granite Falls on Thursday at the Little Theater Auditorium in New London on Friday, and at the Madison Mercantile in Madison (the one in Minnesota) on Saturday.  Sarah says: So many of these stories are dramatic and amazing to begin with. Like, there's a story of a great-grandfather who actually was hit by a train. But coming out of these kind of fantastic true stories, Carlisle is exploring, you know, in those times and places, maybe people's queerness wouldn't have been able to come out or be public in the same kind of way. So what if there were some of these queer identities among these people, and they were just waiting to be told. Or maybe not! Maybe for these individuals, that's not the way they would describe themselves. But there's power in telling those stories and in seeing ourselves in these people from the past. It's an all-musical production with an amazing five-piece band and two backup singers, and then Carlisle embodies each of these characters, kind of like a series of sung monologues. Carlisle is this amazing, amazing, totally stunning performer carrying on the music throughout the entire piece.— Sarah LarssonFolk fusion nightFolk musician Emily Wright recently traveled to Montevideo for an evening of poetry and music, and she's thrilled that these western Minnesota artists are bringing their work to the MetroNOME Brewery in St. Paul, Saturday at 7 p.m. Brendan Stermer will read from his new book of poetry “Forgotten Frequencies” with musical accompaniment by his brother Andy Stermer and their friend Malena Handeen. (Sidenote: Andy and Brendan also produce the “Interesting People Reading Poetry” podcast.) Emily says: Andy's poems and their music are wide open and make me think about the prairie. They remind me of Montevideo, where they are all from. Brendan's book of poetry has this amazing section in it where he took the writings from the Journal of an explorer whose last name was Nicolet and turned them into poetry. I think my favorite poem is this one called “Forgotten Frequencies,” which is the title of his of his book, and it's talking about how the muse of poetry and the muse of art is there, you just have to turn your dial just a little bit to hear her voice.— Emily WrightA feast of puppetryMinneapolis puppeteer David Hanzal is looking forward to attending the Minneapolis Puppetry Palate: a Taste of Puppetry,” which is this year's Midwest regional puppetry festival. The four-day event promises to be a smorgasbord of puppetry performances and events. More than a dozen workshops held at St. Paul's Church in Minneapolis encompass the craft and business of puppeteering and how to incorporate puppetry into classrooms and therapy settings. The festival runs Thursday through Sunday at several Minneapolis venues. You can purchase passes for the whole festival, individual performances or for Saturday only.  David says: Something that's really exciting for me as a puppeteer is being able to see, you know, such a diverse array of performances from all across the region, and also artists from other parts of the country. [I enjoy] that really saturated three- or four-day window where you just get to see lots of different kinds of puppetry. There's a mix of puppet performances for the family as well as adult-only audiences. There's a puppet slam. There's a puppetry panel on education and therapy. There's also the puppet flea market. And there's the community puppet build and performance workshop, which is immediately followed by the puppet parade in Stewart Park on Saturday, Aug. 17.— David Hanzal

Here’s the Ithaca Minute from 14850 Today for July 4th. “The Executive Order that established the Local State of Emergency in March 2020 expires on July 3, 2021 and will not be renewed,” according to a statement from the Tompkins County Health Department on Friday. “This closely follows the end of the State of Emergency declared by Governor Cuomo last week.” The Health Department also says beginning the week of July 5th, they'll be updating their COVID-19 daily data table once a week on Wednesdays, instead of daily. They'll continue updating the spreadsheet with the raw information on a daily basis. 14850 Today has already paused its daily update articles with daily numbers so low through the month of June. As of the 4th of July, 75% of Tompkins County residents age 18 and up have been vaccinated, according to the Tompkins County Health Department. Sunday's data table shows just three active cases, the lowest number in 360 days, nearly an entire year. And Ithaca's waterfront Stewart Park has been closed for over a week due to damage sustained in last Monday's storms, and despite cleanup efforts, additional storm damage this week means the park remains closed and the Friends [...]

Here’s the Ithaca Minute from 14850 Today for May 15th. The Tompkins County Health Department says they’ve “received notification that a GreenStar employee tested positive for COVID-19. The individual worked multiple shifts at the GreenStar location at 770 Cascadilla Street this weekend.” GreenStar’s new flagship Ithaca store opened just last week. Health Department officials say customers who went inside the store during the employee’s three shifts could have been exposed: Friday, May 8th, 7am-3:15pm Saturday, May 9th, 7am-3:15pm Monday, May 11th, 10:30am-7pm. If you shopped at GreenStar at those times the Health Department suggests you get tested at the Cayuga Health Sampling Site, which is open extended hours Friday, May 15th, 9am-4pm. The Friends of Stewart Park will be giving out free cloth face masks to those who need them this Saturday, May 16, from 1-3pm. They quote Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s statement: “Why wear a mask? Out of respect. When you wear a mask you are saying, I respect my neighbors. When you wear a mask you are saying, I respect nurses and doctors. When you wear a mask you are saying, I respect other people. We all need to show respect to one another in difficult times. Wearing [...]

One Big Weekend is coming to Middlesbrough. Let's re-live Christopher Moyles at Stewart Park from 1999

It's New Year's Eve, a time to look back and reflect on the year that has been as it slips away forever into the past before thoughts turn to the year ahead. What better way to spend part of the last day of 2015 than to catch up on some of this year's highlights in Spartanburg. With announcements like a new 10-story downtown Marriott AC hotel and streetscaping projects that have increased vibrancy in two important downtown areas, 2015 was a big year for Downtown Spartanburg. 2015 also saw the completion of a  that, in addition to upgrading park equipment in neighborhood parks throughout the city, also included the City's first neighborhood park on the westside and included the new Thornton Activity Center at Stewart Park. It was also an important year for the Northside Initiative, with the first full year for Harvest Park, a , and the city taking possession of Oakview Apartments earlier this month, laying the groundwork for the future T.K. Gregg Recreation Center planned for the site. In fact, so much happened in Spartanburg in 2015 that cramming it all into one podcast would normally be virtually impossible, so how did we do it? Let's just say it involved a timer and a challenge to City Communications Manager Will Rothschild's ability to distill complicated local issues into their easily digestible essence.

As you , at their meeting on Monday, City Council gave approval to a plan that calls for $2.58 million in new parks and recreation investment throughout the city. Plans include improving and up to a number of City facilities such as an overflow parking lot and athletic field for the CC Woodson Community Center, a new activity center for Stewart Park, and a new neighborhood park on the westside. Other items include $750,000 for bicycle and pedestrian trails, and a slew of neighborhood park improvements.   Today on the podcast, we have part two of our conversation with Council member Sterling Anderson, and we're talking more about this exciting new parks and recreation plan, discussing the $750,000 in the plan allocated for bicycle and pedestrian trails, and touching a bit on the City's overall vision for these kinds of amenities in our community. Listen below and enjoy.

As you , last night's City Council meeting was an importantant one, as Council gave approval to a plan that calls for $2.58 million in new parks and recreation investment throughout the city. Plans include improving and up to a number of City facilities such as an overflow parking lot and athletic field for the CC Woodson Community Center, a new activity center for Stewart Park, and a new neighborhood park on the westside. Other items include $750,000 for bicycle and pedestrian trails, and a slew of neighborhood park improvements.   Today on the podcast, we have the first of a two-part conversation with Council member Sterling Anderson to talk about this historic quality of life investment by the City, focusing on the first ever neighborhood park to be built in his westside district, and some of the tough, fiscally responsible decisions that allowed Council to move forward with this bold new step in improving our community's parks and recreation facilities. So give a listen, and be sure to look for part two of the conversation tomorrow.

The gifts have all been given, the food eaten, and the belt subsequently loosened; the mad holiday marathon has finally come to an end. So as we all nurse our tinsel-filled Christmas hangovers and get back to the grind of these last few days of 2012, it's worth looking back on the last 12 months to see where they've taken us.  From putting challenges like the City's legacy pension system and the old Arkwright Dump behind us, to the grand opening of Stewart Park and the huge success of Skating on the Square, it's been quite a year in our City, and taken by themselves, those issues are easy enough to explain. The real question, the one that we'd be remiss not to ask is: How do the accomplishments and progress made in 2012 fit into the larger vision for Spartanburg as we move into a new year? What direction did 2012 see our City taking? For a podcast this ambitious, clearly we were going to need the big guns, so we got the two most knowledgable people around to put it all in perspective for us, City Manager Ed Memmott and Assistant City Manager Chris Story. Join us for part one of that conversation.
