Private Roller - Alyssa Baguss designs

Artist, Alyssa Baguss, has put a new twist on an old machine. The Minnesota Artists Penny Press (MAPP), features the artwork of four Twin Cities artists that can be imprinted onto crushed copper coins. During 2024, MAPP will travel to three Twin Cities community colleges (Inver Hills, Minneapolis, and Normandale Community Colleges). For just two quarters plus one penny, a curious buyer can turn the crank that turns the gears, churning out their own itty-bitty piece of collectible local art. All proceeds go towards supporting future experimental public art projects.
