SUMMARY:Nokomis Farmers Market | 5167 Chicago Ave - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, Neighborhood Roots was approached by the Hale-Page-Diamond Lake Neighborhood Association about their desire to start a new neighborhood farmers market. After careful consideration\, the decision was made to launch three pilot markets during the summer of 2014.  Nokomis Farmers Market took place mid-week on Wednesday evenings –  the perfect opportunity to catch up on shopping and spend a quality summer afternoon with friends and neighbors! The enthusiasm of the neighborhood in 2014 lead to the launch of a once weekly Wednesday afternoon market in 2015.  The 2026 season marks the eleventh full-season for Nokomis. Sixteen weeks of local food\, music and fun!

SUMMARY:Quick and Dirty Letterpress Posters | Minnesota Center for Book Arts - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the history and power of the printing press as a tool for sharing information\, and use a Vandercook printing press to print a message! \nFirst\, as a group\, decide on a few words or a short phrase of up to 3 words (this could be a protest poster\, a quote\, etc.). The teaching artist will work with the group to set the phrase with wood type\, and each participant will apply ink and print at least one copy of their print to take home. \nThis short\, in-person workshop exposes participants to the technical skills required for letterpress printing\, but participation in Letterpress 1: Printing Basics\, Letterpress 2: Setting Type and Letterpress 3: Two-Color Prints is needed in order to attend Letterpress Labs to print independently in MCBA’s studios. \nLevel: Beginner.
