In the New Gallery
Exhibit Runs: October 31st- December 4th, 2026
Opening Reception: October 31st; 3-5pm
This exhibition is sponsored by Marisol And Dave Fast
This exhibition, curated by Art Historian Dr. Deborah Caplow, presents a selection of prints made by contemporary Oaxacan printmakers using a variety of printmaking processes. Oaxaca has become a center for contemporary printmaking, with print studios run by individual artists or collectives producing strong, vibrant work that has caught the attention of art enthusiasts worldwide. The influence of Oaxacan printmaking can be seen in the work of printmaker Christie Tirado (MFA, University of Wisconsin, formerly of Yakima) who is also included in this exhibition, creating a direct line of artistic practice between the Oaxacan and Yakima art communities.
