Preparing for the Opening at Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin

We had a great ramp up for our big opening at Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin -- 6 - 9 PM -- on Friday, January 26th.



The anticipation is killing us!

STREET BANNER

Mexic-Arte posted a big banner of the exhibitions in front of their museum, on Congress Avenue (at 5th Street), the main street of Austin, Texas! Zeke Peñas print from the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta is featured.  The augmented reality enhancements work on the banner, as they do on Zeke's print inside.

RECEIVING PRINTS FROM
TALLER 75 GRADOS

While we donated a set of Desert Triangle Print Carpeta works to Mexic-Arte, we also donated a few other prints made by Taller 75 Grados, and then they bought even more prints directly from Arturo Negrete of Taller 75 Grados of Mexico City.
