The longer version flyer I got last night pictures some of the beautiful art of the artists who will be exhibiting tomorrow:

Susan French, Bob Kray II, Ron Nelson, Elen Zank, Diane Davis, Joyce Jaden, Mickey Bond, Raymonde Zlotnikoff, George Howard, Kaye Guerin Marks, Gary Mackender, Mark Garris, and many more. Call 520-907-7325 for more info.

I’ve been to Ron Nelson‘s alley studio on 524 Ferro Avenue (just north of E. 6th Street) and his work is amazing and beautiful, yet made “entirely of recycled materials: shredded newspaper, house paint, and reused pieces of wood for framing.”

Enjoy Rodeo Weekend & this show with these Southwestern artists.
