It's been several months since The Stir City exhibit went up and this weekend, the huge piece– made up of more than 70,000 coffee stirrer sticks, is all coming down. The museum says it will be no small feat, so they're looking for help from people in the community.
The piece was created on site as the artist, Jonathan Brilliant, spent ten days at the museum weaving the sticks tightly together. The entire piece is held together on its own, without any glue or products to hold the sticks in place.
Any of the sticks left over at the end of the day on Sunday will be put to good use– they'll be used in the kid's gallery at the Taubman and donated to local schools.

If you are interested in seeing the exhibit or want to get involved and help take it down, the public is invited.
It's happening between noon and five Sunday evening.
