The "PRNT PNTG" exhibition is a UTEP (University of Texas at El Paso) student show of mostly 8x8 inch prints at the "Alameda Art and Salvage" gallery in El Paso, adjacent to the Horned Toad Prints studio (walking distance into Mexico):

The big event will be the closing during the evening on May 30, 2024. So people just trickled in during the opening on May 20th. Sara Saucedo came when I was there, so I took a picture of her in front of her print:

The student prints were fairly impressive. There is a lot of talent in El Paso.
Manuel Guerra, the printmaking professor at UTEP, found an old copper etching plate, and reworked it by drawing a new portrait on it:

Afterwards we grabbed some Americanos at Coffee Party nearby:
Coffee Party is in the Falstaff Art building, which also houses art studios and art galleries like La Mecha. There is a nice little art scene there by the Juarez/Mexican border, about Alameda Street.
UPDATE (June 6, 2024): Federico Villalba took some photos from the opening on May 30th, 2024, and sent me the photos below to post:
