Through the magic of the internet you can now purchase past catalogs, books, post cards, t-shirts and other items from exhibits at the gallery. Check out the Yes Men activity book – and if you haven't seen the movie The Yes Men – add that to your cart too. There are a number of books here that I am adding to my reading list.

Post-Gazette Article on Digital Marketing – Fizz or fizzle?

Growing Power's National-International Urban & Small Farm Conference – I had the opportunity to visit Growing Power, which is an urban farm located in Milwaukee last year during the GLUE (Great Lakes Urban Exchange) conference. It was an eye opening visit to learn about food sourcing,urban farming and land use. If you have any interest in small and urban farming this is a great organization to check out and I am sure this will be a fantastic conference.
