Do you participate in figure drawing at FUSION on Wednesday nights (at least sometimes)?
Do you attend printmaking classes at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM)?
Have you participated in printmaking with Bucket Exhibitions?
Have you exhibited with or participated in events by the Monsoon A.R.T.ists?
If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are invited to submit artwork to exhibit with us during the months of December 2026 and January 2027. Artworks that fall into the categories below will be considered.
Open category for all things print! Relief, intaglio, lithograph, monoprints… all must be hand-pulled.
Figure drawing from the sessions at FUSION, or derivative works based on those drawings and sketches. Pencil, charcoal, paint, marker, other mediums are accepted.
Monsoon A.R.T.ists believe in the power of art to educate others and effect change. All mediums accepted, within reason. This is a category for expressing opinions about equality, peace and justice.
This collection highlights work by local artists whose work may seldom be seen or publicly exhibited.
PRINTS will include an open category for printmakers from the Central Community College of New Mexico and from a pop-up group Bucket Exhibitions. The CNM students are working diligently to master the complex processes involved in printmaking, while Bucket Exhibitions instigates collaboration and exploration in printmaking, enhanced by augmented reality.
PEOPLE will highlight the work of figure drawing artists who practice here weekly at the sessions hosted by FUSION. These works will be actual drawings from those sessions, or derivative works from those drawings. Figure drawing provides superb practice for any artist, regardless of medium, and the sessions at FUSION have resulted in some beautiful work.
PROTESTS is an outlet for expressing opinions about equality, peace and justice. A local collaborative, the MonsoonA.R.T.ists, believes that art has the power to educate and to effect social and political change. This group is one of the sponsors of this exhibition, providing logistical support.
Each of these groups is comprised of unique, talented and creative individuals. We believe that this invitational exhibition will offer diverse and interesting perspectives that will be a joy to view.
