Minnesota Center for Book Arts presents an amazing exhibit featuring rubber stamps and the many ways educators, merchants, artists, and others have used them. The exhibition will feature more than 80 vintage rubber stamp sets from the private collections of L. Scott Helmes and Picasso Gaglione. Rubber Stamp artwork, exemplars, and an activity station are also featured in the exhibit.
