Two major records for ArtOrg’s “Thousand Print Summer” small steamroller printing event fell at the 2010 Minneapolis Monarch Festival. Nearly three-hundred prints were completed by kids and adults, and the total number of prints for this years activity surpassed two-thousand prints. The numbers are interesting facts, however, but the real magic of the event is seen in each individual work, and the special satisfaction that can be seen on everyone’s face as they proudly display their print. We have photographed many of the artists and their prints, and that can be seen at this page on the ArtOrg website.

ArtOrg and the Grupo Soap del Corazón have been chosen by the Minneapolis Monarch Festival to perform the event called the “Thousand Print Summer” on 9/18/2010. Several artists will be there working right next to the kids and adults to make prints with the general theme of the Monarch Butterfly. An interesting aspect of the project will be the established artists (Savita Bettaglio, Peter Morales, Luis Ornelas, and Douglas Padilla) from the community that will create works alongside of the other kid/adult artist participants. The printing blocks will be printed at the festival with a small steamroller, and everyone will leave with a wonderful paper print. ArtOrg will retain the printing blocks however, and perhaps reuse them and integrate them into a larger collaborative piece sometime in the future. Come do a neat butterfly print, and check back here for photos!
