Book arts and a neighborhood transformed
The New York Times has an article in their Real Estate section today about the Minnesota Center for Book Arts and the role it has helped play in the revitilization of a Minneapolis neighborhood.
I had the opportunity to visit MCBA last year and was really impressed with their Open Book building. The building is owned by 3 non-profit groups who joined forces to create a book and literature mecca. Want to learn letterpress printing or how to make paper? Take a class at MCBA. After class, head on upstairs to the Loft Literary Center to attend a writing class or hear an author talk. Milkweed Editions, also in the Open Book building, is an independent non-profit literary publisher.
Volunteer opportunities in the Arts
Our volunteers and docents are a diverse group.
Spending time in and around the Sabatini Gallery attracts everyone from students interested in a career in the Arts or Museum field to retirees with a passion for people, enriching conversation and opportunites for personal growth. We welcome a range of interests from greeting and secretarial work to assisting us with filing, data entry, exhibition installation, photographing events and light research.
If you think this might be the place for you, give us a call and we'll go from there. Sign up to work events or a simple daytime desk shift. Hours are relatively flexible.
Antiques Roadshow coming to Wichita KS
PBS's Antiques Roadshow will be in Wichita KS on July 12, 2008.
Maybe you're the lucky owner of a million-dollar Civil War relic or outstanding example of furniture. Or maybe your flea market find is a fake. The April 20 deadline for online ticket applications has passed, however a random selection for free tickets will be conducted in early May. Emails notifying applicants if they were chosen go out beginning May 9. So, if you applied, watch your inbox. If you missed it, watch the show. You'll get a good sense what sorts of things Kansans collect and inherit.
