Talisker owns the only distillery on the Isle of Skye in Scotland which happens to be one of the wettest places in the country (where a light drizzle can quickly transform into a full-blown weather phenomenon). The whiskey-makers wanted to bring their tempestuous weather to whiskey-drinkers across Europe — so they set up a 25-foot interactive installation to give them a taste. Sweet.

To highlight Santec Security Cameras' tagline "There is No Escape" and get the word out about their product in Germany they partnered with Serviceplan. The agency showed off the immediacy of getting the thief when using security cameras by converting the Study they were stealing from into a jail cell in 20 seconds.

Finally, it's that time of the year again. Art-A-Whirl is this weekend, starting today at 5 and running until 5 on Sunday! Each year the Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) presents Art-A-Whirl which is the largest open studio tour in the country. It’s a great opportunity to tour private studios and galleries, connect with the artists, and purchase original artwork. This year you can tour more than 70 locations throughout Northeast Minneapolis, including studio buildings, art galleries, homes, storefronts, businesses, and restaurants. As always the event is free.

Plan your visit with NEMAA's Artist Directory and Guide, which includes information about the NEMAA artists, a map of Northeast Minneapolis and the Art-A-Whirl locations, a dining guide, and more. If it's your first time to an art crawl you're crazy; but, no need to fear because there are some helpful hints on engaging with and buying from artists right here. Awesome!
