At first glance, this year’s  Keepers are a ragtag bunch. Their   mediums run the gamut from good  old-fashioned pen and paper to the human   body; their habitats are  classrooms, venerable theater stages and rock   clubs.
But here’s where this diverse group converges: Each Keeper has    talent to spare, and is an indispensable cog in the wheel of Twin   Cities  culture. For that, we have presented them with some fancy words,  and a pretty picture  in an  attempt to flatter them into never leaving  town.  
Today’s featured Keeper is Anne Ulku, who spins beautiful words from color, prose and clothing.

This photo just makes me think, “1990s! Gaviidae! City Center! Woo!” (I know. These buildings are from prior decades, it’s just my 80s child mind at work.)
