The family of MCAD alum and long-time Edina resident, Bill Manske, has collaborated with The Edina Historical Society on an exhibit honoring his life and work.

Manske was a creative force in Twin Cities advertising. After graduating from MCAD, he joined the Navy and served during the Korean War on the USS Iowa, and created Sleeve Banyon, a popular comic strip for his ship's newspaper.

Following his stint in the Navy, Manske worked as a commercial artist and illustrator at Minneapolis ad agencies. He later shared his artistic flair and talent as an instructor at Hennepin Technical College.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
