Running concurrently with Art-a-Whirl is Heliotrope Four, a weekend of local underground music, film and art featuring extreme variations in sound and styles(psychedelia, free jazz, damaged folk, sound collage, no wave, improv, noise, instrumental rock, etc).

As in the past, film projections will also be featured throughout the festival. For the past three years the festival has taken place at Franklin Art Works, but this year it moves to the newly-renovated Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis.
