PRINT PACHANGA in El Paso

The PRINT PACHANGA was not a BUCKET EXHIBITIONS event;  however the BUCKET EXHIBITIONS show prints from a lot of participating artists, and shares a lot of the print enthusiasm from El Paso.




Marco Sanchez organized the PRINT PACHANGA in El Paso -- on July 27th, 28th and 29th, 2023:




UPDATE (September 29, 2023):  The El Paso Museum of Art framed all the prints and hung them on the first floor, in the "EPMA Museum Connect" room:
