Art Hounds: Puppets in Bemidji, Osmo on clarinet, Music and Movies
Each week Minnesota Public Radio News asks three people from the Minnesota arts scene to be "Art Hounds." Their job is to step outside their own work and hunt down something exciting that's going on in local arts.
Find out how you can be an art hound.
This week:
