While in Phoenix I visited XICO downtown, and met Esai Calles, Sylvia Hernandez and Donna Valdez, the Executive Director:

Plus I also met Agustin Vargas at XICO as he was teaching classes there. He and I had the same lithography teacher, Leo Acosta, at the ex-Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City

TUCSON

I put up a ten minute pop-up exhibition at Cartel coffee house in downtown Tucson, mostly for the photo-op:
