one of my favorite places in minneapolis is mcba (minnesota center for book arts). their space is beautiful, the workshops are wonderful and their galleries are always filled with inspiring work.
right now, in collaboration with the university of st. thomas, mcba is hosting an excellent exhibit called “face the nation: how national identity shaped modern typeface design.” if you can’t make it over to mcba (or just can’t wait to know more), there’s a companion site that walks you through the exhibit.
if you’re at all into type, it’s super interesting and definitely worth checking out.
