2024 SUMMARY

BUCKET EXHIBITIONS was very busy with COLLABORATIVE Print projects in 2024.  It started when BIG INK came to Albuquerque in April -- continued with the COLLABORATION of 5 print out of Henry Morales' studio -- and culminated in the EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print project since May:

Prints have to be SHOWN!

Exhibiting is the goal of BUCKET EXHIBITIONS, so our fundamental CONCEPT is to show SMALLER prints, because that is cheap and easy. However if the momentum builds enough to make and show BIGGER prints, that is even better.  And that is what happened in 2024.



BIGGER PRINTS

We made and exhibited larger prints in 2024:


The year started in Henry Morales' studio, by carving a collaborative woodcut for when BIG INK came to Albuquerque to print it in May:

COLALBORATION of 5

The BIG INK collaboration sparked the enthusiasm to collaborate on a print again in Henry Morales' studio, developing into the COLLABORATION of 5 print:

This enthusiasm for collaboration culminated in the EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print project, started in May, and blossomed into an exhibition in Albuquerque in December:

LIVE PRINTMAKING

In order to show prints we have to make prints -- so we always do a little LIVE PRINTMAKING at openings and events to encourage that:

 BIG EVENTS

We PRINTED LIVE at a few big events -- specifically the PRINTERS PLANET, both in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and the SOUTHWEST PRINT FIESTA in Silver City, New Mexico:
