If you happen to be in West Texas, Lubbock in particular, drop by the Museum of Texas Tech University to see the ColorPrint USA 40th Anniversary exhibition. My Yummy #3 is part of the show. Dates: March 7 – May 9.

Here’s a bit more info:

“For four decades ColorPrint USA exhibitions gathered together exemplary cross-sections of fine art prints. Through the foresight and creative direction of Lynwood Kreneck, these sometimes annual, sometimes biennial, and sometimes triennial showcases of contemporary art brought to West Texas many of the most persuasive, famous, and compelling creative efforts of American and, at times, European, printmakers. The Museum of Texas Tech University now houses the ColorPrint USA collection. Through 65 works curated from this collection, this exhibition celebrates and refocuses attention on the singular importance of ColorPrint’s 40 year history.”
