MANCHESTER, NH – Jupiter Hall will host “Just Your Type,” an exhibit of typewriter photography by Queen City artist Brenda Noiseux Oct. 11-25. The exhibit features pictures from Noiseux’s 2017 photo calendar, taken in and around Manchester.

“It’s amazing how many people have a story to share once you tell them you collect typewriters,’ Noiseux said. “My household’s collection of fifty-odd typewriters are meant to be used and shared. For this project, I photographed some of them ‘out in the wild’ to help reawaken those memories of these machines.”
