YayBigSouthwest in El Paso

We were selected for a pop-up gallery at the Chalk the Block art festival in El Paso. The weekend festival lasts 3 days -- October 11, 12 and 13th. Our pop-up gallery is located in the fancy El Camino Real hotel, in the Uptown room.

The basic idea is to show artwork from Tucson. El Paso is less than 5 hours down the road, but few people in El Paso have much of an idea of what goes on in Tucson artisically, and vice-versa. Prints travel and show better than painting and sculpture, and thus work best for regional shows. We also included some prints from El Paso, Phoenix and Albuquerque, hoping to encourage some artistic interaction in the whole Southwest. Thus we named our pop-up gallery "Yaybig Southwest," after the print gallery in Tucson.

Tanya Rich and Krrrl had a lot of fun showing prints at the YayBigSouthwest pop-up gallery at El Paso's Chalk the Block 2013 art festival.
