To introduce city folks to small-town cafes, Minneapolis artist Mat Ollig created collage-style paintings of 10 diners across the state. Each painting hangs in the diner that inspired it. There also are postcards of each painting. Ollig hopes people go see his paintings, pick up a postcard and enjoy an authentic diner meal. (For more info, go to his Twitter hashtag, #mnArtHunt.)
