Show at the Mothership with Print Exchange




YayBigSouthwest is showing in June at the mothership -- the Yay Big Gallery!  These are prints that we have collected from artists all over the Southwest; and have shown in pop-up galleries in  El Paso, Albuquerque and Phoenix so far...

  • 174 E Toole Street, Tucson, Arizona.       NEW:  We will also be showing prints down the street (31 E Toole) at the new Academy of Wonderment, and Rogo will do live printing at the Opularium next door.
  • The show runs through June 29, 2014.  Gallery hours will be from 3 - 8PM, Thursday, Friday and Saturdays in June.

Tucson is starting a print collective! -- Tucson Community Printshop on Facebook.



We bought some prints on Etsy from Southwestern printmakers. There is a nice, reasonably priced selection there.


Also I favored a lot of Etsy prints worldwide, from outside the US.


We are self-publishing a catalog of the Yay Big Southwest print collection on Lulu. The catalog should be finished in the middle of June.
