PRINT PORTFOLIO EXHIBITIONS

 In addition to Open Portfolio, there were a lot of great prints in the SGCI exhibitions around the Dallas/Fort Worth area, from artists across the country.  The prints produced in Texas, Mexico and the Southwest however, were mostly distinct from those produced in the rest of the country.

Salud!

Always good to visit the Velazquez portrait

at the Kimbell Art Museum

when in the Fort Worth area

Thank you Dallas!

Of course, SGCI was better than SXSW down in Austin  (though Flatstock is pretty good).

We also went to SGCI in Portland in 2016.
