Mennonite Village Photography: Views from Manitoba 1890–1940

Graphic and exhibit design services were required to create this travelling exhibition which features a carefully curated selection of photographs from the publication Mennonite Village Photography: Views from Manitoba 1890–1940 produced by the Mennonite Historic Arts Committee. Carefully chosen photographs from the book were re-scanned and re-printed in large format, creating a stunning travelling exhibit that is being displayed in galleries throughout Canada including Gallery in the Park, Mennonite Heritage Archives and the Mennonite Heritage Village. If you are interested in booking this exhibit for your gallery, please email the Curator of Gallery in the Park. 2020

I had the great pleasure of working with Anikó on a multi-year, four-part project consisting of an art book, large format gallery exhibit, logo, and a website. Anikó was a dedicated and hard-working Designer and Art Director. She kept the project components organized, submitted work in a timely fashion, and demonstrated an excellent depth of knowledge related to design possibilities and high-quality print materials.
