One of my Earth Measure Blues paintings (number 12 in the series) has been accepted into an exhibit at the Albuquerque contemporary artspace 516 ARTS, with the opening from 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, 2012. The exhibit will be on display through April 28, 2012.

The highly selective show, called “New Mexico Showcase,” was juried by guest juror Peter Frank, an acclaimed curator and art critic based in Los Angeles. Peter is currently Associate Editor of Fabrik magazine and art critic for The Huffington Post.

If you don’t know 516 ARTS, it is a great venue: an independent nonprofit which is a hybrid between a gallery and a museum, with a beautiful two-story space in downtown Albuquerque. Info: 516 Central Ave. SW (between 5th and 6th Streets); www.516arts.org; 505-242-1445.
