Note: Flatbed Press, aka Flatbed World Headquarters, the center of the printmaking community, lost their lease, and will be looking to relocate by February, 2019... but The Road Goes on Forever...

THE Magazine of Santa Fe did an article about the art scene in Austin, in the April 2018 issue.

UPDATE: Tanya retrieved the prints from Mexic-Arte Museum on May 30th, 2018. We are very grateful that they exhibited our prints, and thank director Sylvia Orozco, curator Rebecca Gomez and the whole crew very much. Everything went so smoothly.
