Glam Slam clothing swap
New Minneapolis gallery Gamut is throwing a different kind of art party -- in the form of a clothing swap. Guests are encouraged to bring their unwanted wearables to swap in an "avant-garde" pop-up boutique, where photographers will shoot them in their new finds. There's no limit on what you can take home; all swaps are included in the price of admission. The event includes tunes from DJ Slow Derek, a handmade clothing and jewelry boutique and the ongoing group exhibit "Colors." (6-9 p.m. Sat. $7-$10. Gamut Gallery, 1006 Marquette Av. S., Mpls. www.glamslamswap.com.)
