On 10/16/2010, and just in time for the so-called Northfield Day of the MAPC conference, ArtOrg’s The Big Print was completed and installed in Buntrock Commons at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota.

For a complete page devoted to all aspects of the project, please go here. The Big Print is available for viewing every day during the extensive open hours of Buntrock Commons. Please watch our announcements here as we organize an opening event for all of the participants–especially those 1180 artists who made art that has been integrated into The Big Print. This opening will occur in early November. Thanks to all who made this a success!
