We plan on setting up 

three open portfolio cases 

(on keyboard stands)

for visitors to flip through

They are marketing in Tucson, Albuquerque, and El Paso (as well as Las Cruces and Santa Fe) -- sounds like we are working the same territory.  This should be a great boost to the Southwest printmaking fever.

Sponsored by the Mimbres Region Arts Council.
