Zeke Peña's Desert Triangle print is now showing in the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of the exhibition -- ¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now -- in Washington D.C., November 20, 2020 - August 8, 2021.
David Figueroa of Augment El Paso enhanced Zeke's print with augmented reality. He posted Zeke's opening talk on Zoom on his Instagram.

OTHER MUSEUMS
Looking backwards we find that Desert Triangle prints by individual artists have surfaced in other museums.
EL PASO MUSEUM OF ART
The prints by Francisco Delgado and Manuel Guerra were part of the exhibition -- El Paso Museum of Art: 60 Years of Collecting -- September 27, 2019 - March 8, 2020.
Mykl Wells' print was selling as a postcard in the El Paso Museum of Art bookstore.
TUCSON MUSEUM OF ART
Rubin Moreno's print was hanging at the Tucson Museum of Art in October 2018.
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
MUSEUM of ART
The Desert Triangle prints of Rudy Flores, Jesus "Cimi" Alvarado, and Krrrl were hanging in the University of Arizona Museum of Art, seen in August, 2017.
RIVERSIDE ART MUSEUM
Pavel Acevedo's print is part of the permanent collection of the Riverside Art Museum in California.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
RIO GRANDE VALLEY (Brownsville)
ART MUSEUM
Many of the Desert Triangle artists were part of the Print Show at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Brownsville in November, 2015. However the Desert Triangle prints of Francisco Delagado and Jesus "Cimi" Alvarado were shown.
We think that Jesus "Cimi" Alvardo's print was hanging in Washington D.C. while Beto O'Rourke was Congressman (he left 2018).
Cimi was also recently interviewed by Marina Monsisvais for the State of the Arts program on KTEP, for receiving the Catalyst for Change Award by NALAC.
MEXIC-ARTE
Desert Triangle artists showed other work recently at Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin.
Jesus "Cimi" Alvarado's large steam roller print was featured in the poster promoting the 37th Day of the Dead exhibition from September 18 - November 22, 2020.
Concurrently Mexic-Arte had their 25th Emerging Latino Artists exhibition (September 18 - November 22, 2020), and the Jellyfish Colectivo participated with a different work, getting the main attention of the Austin 360 website, which spotlighted their piece.

Ambos Lados is very evenly divided half and half between printmakers from Mexico and the US, with 6 from other countries. The prints were shown in Taos earlier this year 2020, but further exhibitions were stopped by Covid 19 shutdowns.
In the spring we also heard from Dr Ricardo Romo, the former president of the University of Texas at San Antonio, and major Latino art collector. His and his wife's print collection toured the United States as Estampas de la Raza: Contemporary Prints from the Romo Collection. Naturally we were thrilled to hear from him in email, as the Desert Triangle was inspired by his exhibitions. We had left him a Desert Triangle catalog back in 2016.
