On April 20, 2024, the HERSTORY Printmaking Collective wheat pasted prints behind Site Santa Fe to create a mural -- WOMEN OF THE RAILS.  Also check out the blog post about the women in the FINISHED MURAL:

Maybe we should make prints with the ART TO G.O. van sometime:

The ART TO G.O. table

had a Sizzix embossing machine --
