Thur., Jan. 10, Art Mix

This event will be like Dumpster diving at a craft fair with Dean Haakenson stalking you—but classier! The Crocker Art Museum's once-a-month Art Mix gigs go down every second Thursday and, frankly, are cool opportunities to get pretty weird inside a state-of-the-art museum. This month: You can hear wild lil' folk troupe Be Brave Bold Robot (pictured) whilst partnering with ReCreate in building a giant sculpture out of trash. And you can purchase handmade jewelery and goods from People Who Really Build Things. The early-evening party is free with museum admission ($5-$10), and you can buy beer at the Crocker Cafe by Supper Club and wander the museum, too, in your copious free time. 216 O Street, www.crockerartmuseum.org.
