Twin Cities weekend guide: Saint Paul Art Crawl, 5 Minute Film Fest, Chappell Roan party

• Unlike previous crawls spread out over multiple weekends, this fall's event will pack all the activities into three days.
• Friday–Sunday, times and locations vary. Free!

Zoom in: Featured activities include live painting on the rooftop of the Schmidt Artist Lofts, a drop-in ceramic "mini-workshop" at Northern Light Art Studio and a comedy show at The Warrior's Garden Hemp & Wellness.

• Audrey also recommends stopping by Nine Lives, a new thrift store on West Seventh Street with a great collection of affordable used and vintage clothing.
