The Get Out Guide features all the events to get you out and around Minneapolis
Jerome Emerging Artist Fellowship
The Jerome Emerging Artist Fellowship, which this year went to five artists selected from 249 applicants by a jury of nationally known curators, is a chance for artists making waves in Minnesota to shine. The yearlong fellowship gives them extra time, support and funding to help them grow, culminating in an exhibition at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. For the exhibition reception, you’ll have a chance to see what each of the artists — Alyssa Baguss, Josette Ghiseline, Sarah Kusa, Joshua McGarvey and Lela Pierce — came up with during fellowships, working in mediums that run the gamut: drawing, mixed media, painting, sculpture, installation, video and performance.
When: 6 p.m.–8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5
Where: MCAD Gallery, 2501 Stevens Ave.
Cost: Free

An afternoon of folklore with Jack Zipes
Famed folklorist Jack Zipes discusses forgotten fairytales featured in his two most recent books, “The Book of One Hundred Riddles of the Fairy Bellaria,” and “Fearless Ivan and His Faithful Horse Double-Hump: A Russian Folktale.” A professor emeritus in the Department of German, Scandinavian, and Dutch at the University of Minnesota, Zipes has written over 40 books on folklore, stories and fairytales, so it should be a treat to hear his insights about what these old stories can tell us today.
When: 5 p.m.–6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14
Where: Magers & Quinn, 3038 Hennepin Ave.
Cost: Free
