You’re invited to the opening of the Prints - People - Protests Exhibition on Friday, December 4, from 5–7 PM as part of the ABQ Artwalk and the First Friday ARTScrawl.
The Prints - People - Protests Exhibition is a collection of works from three unique groups of artists.
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 Monsoon A.R.T.ists, believes that art has the power to educate and 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.
Opening Reception: Friday, December 4, from 5–7 PM as part of the ABQ Artwalk and the First Friday ARTScrawl.

ABOUT THE CURATOR: ELLIE WEADOCK
Ellie Weadock’s origins are in the Palouse region of Washington State, a visually stunning farming community. After graduating from Washington State University, Ellie moved sight-unseen to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Now Ellie has called Albuquerque home for more than four decades, has married, and has raised children here. The drawing and printmaking communities in Albuquerque are collaborative and friendly, and she is grateful to have found so many friends and colleagues over the years. The wonderful people and landscape views continue to provide compelling inspiration.
