About EATSS
Originally home to more than 25 nations, Minnesota is steeped in American Indian roots. Today, we are excited to bring back a night of total immersion in Native culture, with art, food, discussion, and music from Indigenous creators and artisans.
In the heart of Native American Heritage Month, this one-night-only event aims to bring together the tradition and diversity of Native culture and expression, served to you at the esteemed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.
100% of proceeds are used to provide scholarships to AI/AN students, courtesy of the American Indian College Fund, to foster the next generation of Indigenous leaders.

A Concert with Rufus Wainwright
Praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation. The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released ten studio albums to date, three DVDs, and three live albums including the GRAMMY® nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. He has collaborated with artists such as Elton John, Burt Bacharach, Miley Cyrus, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys, Heart, Carly Rae Jepsen, Robbie Williams, Jessye Norman, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Sting, and producer Mark Ronson, among many others. He has written two operas and numerous songs for movies and TV.
His 2020 GRAMMY® nominated studio album of original songs, Unfollow the Rules, finds Wainwright at the peak of his powers, entering artistic maturity with passion, honesty, and a new-found fearlessness. In 2023, he embarked on a journey to his family folk roots with his newly-released, GRAMMY® nominated album Folkocracy featuring reinvented folk duets with artists like Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend and Anohni and many more.
He has been working on his first musical of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night for the West End with Ivo van Hove for a number of years which is set to open at the Gielgud Theater in March 2024. During this time he has also completed a Requiem which will premiere with the Orchestre Philharmonique de la Radio France in June of 2024. Co-commissioners for the Requiem are the Master Chorale in Los Angeles, the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra, the RTE Orchestra in Ireland, and the Royal Ballet London.

Proudly Supporting Students of IAIA
We are thrilled to get to host some extremely talented emerging artists from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), one of the TCU’s we are honored to support.
These artists believe deeply in carrying forward the beautiful traditions of American Indian artwork, infused with modern techniques and their own unique perspectives.
These artists are up and coming and on the rise quickly, and we are fortunate enough to bring them together to share their voice with all of you. All proceeds from their art go directly back to the artist to help them share their work with as many people as possible.
Join the artists for a special showing, where you can ask questions, hear their stories, and even take a piece of the culture home with you.
