There is a band of wild screenprinters in this city who quite commonly throw all their ink in one pot to support one hot cause or another. In today’s episode, we’ve got “Sweet Hair,” an event which takes place at the all-posterish Minneapolis art hot spot Art Minion. This particular amalgamation of paper and ink is tossed in support of Locks of Love. Ten percent of all profit made from these hair posters goes toward just such a voluminous cause. See all the artists webpages and snapshots of their works below!

The Sweet Hair Poster Show kicks off this summer as 37 Minneapolis based artists come together for the sweetest, hairiest event of the year. All prints are hair-inspired, handmade and created just for this one-time-only event. Not only will some of Minneapolis’ premier poster artists be showcased here, but thanks to Mezzanine Salon, hair will actually be cut and styled during the show’s opening reception. Sweet Hair opens on Saturday, June 13th from 7-10pm at the Art Minion Gallery, nestled away in North East Minneapolis overlooking the Mississippi River. This exhibition is free and open to the public. DJ Rambo Salinas and DJ Talk Radio will be spinning music all evening. Artwork purchased the night of the show will be accompanied with a discount to Frame Ups Custom Framing. The show will be up for one month following the opening reception. 10% of poster sales and ALL pony tails collected for Sweet Hair will be given to Locks of Love.
