The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series powered by TruArtSpeaks (Urgent Art Series) is a year-long residency at Icehouse in Minneapolis, MN, taking place monthly, every third Saturday,* in celebration of TruArtSpeaks' 20th year anniversary and - more importantly - all of the artists who make our work and community what it is.
Founded in 2006, by Tish Jones, the arts & 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 Art Series is sponsored, in part, by Minnesota Public Radio.

The Symptones celebrating 10 years of being a band! BEAR reuniting 10 years after their last show!
Steady Range setting the party off right!
Come and celebrate these gigantic midwest indie rock milestones at Icehouse on August 22! Guaranteed to be the party of the summer!
See you there!
THE SYMPTONES BIO:
The Symptones are a six piece indie rock band from Minneapolis by way of Margaritaville. After ten whirlwind years and four collections of songs, the band finds themselves traversing their highest peaks yet, bringing an exuberant and energetic live show to each performance – now with 100% more saxophone.
BEAR BIO:
BEAR was a 4-piece nostalgic indie rock band from 2012-2017 who used Casio keyboards and Gibson SGs to play melancholic songs about run-down shopping malls, summer love, and making out. Rising from the ashes, they're returning for one night only to get noisy, sing their guts out, and play their old party favorites. They miss each other and playing what they've dubbed Albert Leamo—a Midwestern indie rock sub-genre born in the small southern Minnesota town they grew up in.
STEADY RANGE BIO:
Steady Range is a four-piece roots rock band from St. Paul. Their latest album Mahtomedi Bound was released in 2024 and was featured in Racket and Ear Coffee. Recommended for fans of Ween, Wilco, and
