2023-09-02 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Chicago) | Great River Regional Library, 1300 West St. Germain Street, St. Cloud, MN, 56301, United States
Imagery is important. Imagery has been used since humans began to develop as a way to tell and depict messages, stories, and ideas about ourselves and the world. Join local artist Vatsalaa Jha, and together you will use imagery to talk about the theme of the meeting and take art to a deeper level. We will also try to understand how we can use our own imagination and power to reframe and re-illustrate the imagery to represent a “just” outcome

Blind Boys of Alabama
2023-09-09 19:30 - 22:00 | Paramount Center for the Arts, 913 W. St. Germain Street, St. Cloud, MN, 56301, United States
The Blind Boys of Alabama have the rare distinction of being recognized around the world as both living legends and modern-day innovators. They are not just gospel singers borrowing from old traditions; the group helped to define those traditions in 20th century and almost single-handedly created a new gospel sound for the 21st. Since the original members first sang together as kids at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in the late 1930s (including Jimmy Carter, who leads the group today), the band has persevered through seven decades to become one of the most recognized and decorated roots music groups in the world.
