Going for One Thousand Prints

By Dave Machacek

ArtOrg’s 2010 Thousand Print Summer is going gangbusters, and we have only six events left in the June portion of our schedule. In fact, for the Great River Regional Library System alone, we might even make one thousand prints. Please visit the Royalton Library on Monday, June 21; Foley on Tuesday, June 22; Pierz on Wednesday, June 23; Grey Eagle on Thursday, June 24; and Buffalo on Friday, June 25. Look to our calendar for times and addresses. Let’s go for one thousand prints!

On the Road Again 19 of 20 Days

By Dave Machacek


ArtOrg is hitting the road in June with its small steamroller printing activity for kids and adults called the “Thousand Print Summer”. Starting on Monday, June 7 we are printing at no fewer than 19 venues over the next 20 days. The events travel to cities as diverse as Upsala, St. Cloud, Dundas, Grey Eagle, and Minneapolis. Seek out our calendar, to find the nearest location to you. Come early and print often! A special thanks to the Great River Region Library for sponsoring many of the events through the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Legacy Fund. A special treat will be on Sunday, June 13 when we are at the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts—the prints from this event get integrated into a 100-foot-long gallery exhibit at the Hennepin County Government Center in December of 2010, and that project is called the “Progressive Mural in the Community”.
