Jeremiah Bey is a visual artist and writer/storyteller. He currently works as both an independent artist, and a Juxtaposition Arts roster artist. Jeremiah was born and raised in North Minneapolis as one of four children. He credits growing up in a full house with teaching him the value of multiple perspectives, and the importance of other voices in the creative thought process.
A native of south Minneapolis, Michelle Be is a spoken word poet, visual artist, theater artist, and musician. She uses her work to dive into many levels of introspection in order to reconfigure, heal, and progress. With a background in Psychology, Michelle aims to bridge science and spirituality through her art: “I am most interested in connecting with audiences on a cerebral level. This allows me to remain authentic in expressing that which forms in my creative state of mind.”
Tonight is all about Odes. A form that allows you to show your appreciation for someone, some thing or some place that moves you. It will be a night of humor, laughter, love and light. Hope to see you here!
We are marking the days until the second Thursday of September, the same Thursday each year on which we hold one of the best parties in Lowertown. It is the Release Party for the 2015 Saint Paul Almanac, and it will, again, be a very fun night at the Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar
It’s Lowertown Reading Jam time again. This is the last in this year’s series, which has been among the strongest since the inception of the LRJ. This week, Mankwe Ndosi is the curator of the Jam. Mankwe describes herself as a “musicmaker, performer, educator, and culture weaver focused on sound, story, and expanding the vocabulary of singing.”
Storymobile continues to roll through town and people continue to flock to it—not quite like the ice cream truck, but with more focus and sincerity… and you don’t have to ask Mom or Dad for money before Storymobile rolls by. We have young people pedalling hard to keep up with all of your stories. And Saint Paul’s arts community is giving us a lot to keep us busy, making new stories as we remember the old ones.
The Saint Paul Almanac is a literary organization that creates opportunities for understanding, learning, and building relationships through sharing people’s stories. For Immediate Release July 10, 2014 – Join us
Rebecca Song has parts made in China and Canada and assembled in the United States. In writings that could be considered poetry or spoken word, she explores her reality as a 1.5-generation immigrant, Asian/Asian American, and woman of color. She is the recipient of the Inroads Mentorship Award in 2013, is a Community Editor for the Saint Paul Almanac, and currently sits on the organizing committee for the Twin Cities World Refugee Day. She also loves reading and performing her pieces, but only time will tell if she’s any good at it (although the critics have decided that she is very good at it).

A system of rule and oppression that does not value and wears out its source, its fuel, is destined to destroy itself—or at least be transformed radically (at its root). We need innovation, quirk, wonder—unconventional thinkers and dreamers to call forth, dance forth, sing forth, and live into existence a more generative future.
Help us SAVE OUR STORIES! We need your support to continue bringing Saint Paul Almanac’s programs to life. Your contribution goes directly to the literary/visual artists who will make our work possible in 2027. Will you chip in today?
