Artifakt Board Culture Event with Aqueduct

Everywhere I go—on the bus, on the street—I hear about the conditions at Crystal Mountain and the powder at Stevens, which this urbanite has only passed through on the way to Sasquatch. But if you’re one of the many that gladly ditch high heels for snowboard boots—except when you’re at a rock show, of course—here’s the one to hit up this weekend for an avalanche of music and winter-related art. At venues like the 619 artists building and the Lo_Fi, Artifakt hosts monthly art and DJ gigs showcasing talented underground artists of all sorts. Tonight, Aqueduct, Jupiter Mining Corporation, and Last Chance Hero perform while DJs Sean Cee and Kamui soundtrack your art viewing (more than a dozen folks are represented). Bonus: snow and skate video premieres. Don’t get too drunk to go out in it yourself on Saturday. RACHEL SHIMP
