Our ten framed 8 x 8 inch prints look great at the North Fourth Art Center in Albuquerque, which we hung on May 6th. This is part of the BUCKET EXHIBITIONS project:
We are piggy backing on their opening on Friday, May 6th, from 5 - 7 PM.
BUCKET EXHIBITION
of prints at the North 4th Art Center
All of these prints are by artists who attend the Thursday night figure drawing sessions at the North Fourth Art Center. Krrrl brings the Tortilla Press to make prints during the model breaks, for the artists that bring a carved 6 x 6 inch linoleum block.

The main opening was for the big exhibition -- Indigenous Brilliance -- in the front room of the North 4th Art Center. It was organized by Lyle Yazzie, who also attends the Thursday night life drawing sessions:
The idea of the BUCKET EXHIBITIONS is that ten good prints is a good show. We can carry around ten framed 8 x 8 inch prints in a bucket and have hit-and-run pop-up shows in many small venues. We can send the 8 x 8 inch prints in the mail and have reciprocal pop-up shows in El Paso and New Mexico:
We plan to continue collecting prints for the BUCKET and having more exhibitions of the new prints. This is just the beginning.
Monterrey, Mexico
Igor Galvez Buenfil sent four 8 x 8 inch prints from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico where he teaches in a printmaking studio -- Forma 5. He overnighted them by FedEx, and I picked them up on Cinco de Mayo. We aspire to have reciprocal pop-up print exhibitions on both sides of the border, in both New and Old Mexico:

We also sent 7 prints to Monterrey, Mexico on April 14th, and they arrived on May 10th, 2022 -- in less than a month. It cost us less than $16 to send the prints through the regular USPS mail:

In 2018 we organized a print exchange of 8 x 8 inch prints -- Ambos Lados International Print Exchange -- of 158 prints from mostly Mexico, the US, with a few prints from Cuba, Australia, Canada and Ireland. That exhibition was just taken down in Albuquerque on April 30th.
