Hey Sotans! We detour briefly from our ongoing discussion of systemic racism and inequity within the arts to discuss the City Pages “Best of” 2020 edition. City Pages, a simultaneously well-loved and much-despised entertainment and news outlet based in Minneapolis, puts together a list of the “Best of” EVERYTHING in the Twin Cities - ice cream, theater, exhibitions, etc. Jasa and Sarah found at least 11 items named the “Best of” had been discussed on SOTA!

So join us, Sota fam, as we take a dive into the best that Minnesota has to offer.

Heads up: We are now selling SHIRTS!!! Visit our instagram @stateoftheartspod for details on how to win one for free!
