The recently complete accession of the Day of the Dead Steamroller project was celebrated last night by ArtOrg at a reception at the Weisman Museum. Here is a photoset of the evening. Thanks to everyone who attended to congratulate the artists.
Some of these thirteen prints are still available for sale in limited quantities. The one-and-only edition of this print project was limited to only 5 prints. Print numbered 1 of 5 is the special long print that will be retained by ArtOrg for display purposes. Prints numbered 2 of 5 are the set that is now in the Weisman permanent collection. Prints 3, 4, 5 are for sale, although some of the artists themselves have retained some for themselves, and still a couple of the artists are sold out. Please inquire for availability, and sales of these prints support our educational purposes.
