SUMMARY 2025


2025 was an Albuquerque ART RENAISSANCE:  


This year we had a DRAWING SESSION every weeknight (until April, when the Thursday night painting sessions ended).  We had big print shows/workshops in Juarez and at the Southwest Print Fiesta, and there were way more more EXHIBITIONS just in Albuquerque than when I started this blog 15 years ago in 2010.  Quelab 3.0 enjoyed their first year in the new building next to the university, behind the UNM ARTSlab.  Also note that it has also been 5 years since the Covid Lockdown of 2020:

 No trembling hands, no beating heart"
