Exhibition

Mary Moulton Cheney started what became the Design Division of the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts (our MCAD, today) in 1899, and went on to become the School’s first female director (equivalent to the president today). She was an advocate for the Arts and Crafts movement, and her work was influenced especially by the Glasgow School (Charles Rennie Mackintosh, et al). She also had her own press and produced what we would today call artists’ books.

The work from this exhibit is from the MCAD Archives and was organized by Allan Kohl.
