It's Not Too Late To Get Your 'Posters For Parks' Prints

Wanna get a head start on your holiday shopping? Check out the new batch of park-themed prints at the annual Posters for Parks show, a collaboration between the Minneapolis Parks Foundation and LoveMplsParks.

Each poster is a limited-edition print of an original piece by a local artist or designer. Fifty percent of the show’s profits go toward protecting and preserving the Minneapolis park system; the other 50 percent benefits the artists.
