St. Paul, MN - The Minnesota Museum of American Art (MMAA) is proud to present ART HERE: Get Out the Vote on September 13 at pm. The event will feature an art exhibition with the winners of the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ “Get Out the Vote” poster design competition, music on the patio and complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Poster art from the 24 winners will be displayed in physical form and also digitally projected on the walls of the MMAA’s raw gallery space.

In addition to non-partisan voter oriented art, the patio will feature musical performances by Solid Gold, Birthday Suits, Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lappelles and A Night In the Box. This will be the last event held on the patio in the 2008 season. In the event of unfavorable weather, the concert will be moved indoors to the raw gallery space.

With a goal of registering 10,000 new voters, MPIRG will be on hand to register everyone of voting age in attendance. MPIRG is a student-directed, non-partisan group that empowers and trains students and engages the community to take collective action in the public interest throughout the state of Minnesota.

Tickets for this event are currently on pre-sale for $10 courtesy of Indie Tickets on our website. Student Tickets will be available at the door the night of the event for $5. Events at the MMAA have been selling out since early July. Purchasing advance tickets is highly recommended.
