Over 300 kids and adults came together this summer at five different venues in Hennepin County, Minnesota to create printing blocks, and these blocks were used in the summer to make paper prints that the artists made and took home. The printing blocks were squirreled away by ArtOrg to create a community mural called “The Peace Caterpillar”. Please go to our main page about the project where we have photos of all 300 artists, a video of the process, and photos of the printing of the Peace Caterpillar in our studio. The opening reception for the project will be held this Thursday, December 9 from 4 to 5:30 pm in the bottom level in the Hennepin County Government Center. There will be a cake, cider and music for the event. All artists and artist-congratulators are welcome to attend. The Peace Caterpillar will be on display from December through January of 2011.
