Centro Cultural Aztlan cordially invites you to the opening reception of our newest exhibition entitled The A3 Press: 15 Años, a collection of large-scale prints by local artists Kim Bishop and Luis Valderas. Join us for a meet and greet with the artists on Friday, July 11, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
This exhibition offers a compelling glimpse into the dynamic world of large-scale street prints, showcasing a selection of impactful works created by the collaborative efforts of Kim Bishop and Luis Valderas over the past fifteen years. Their shared vision has manifested in the form of A³ Press pop-up industrial press events, a groundbreaking initiative that has brought the spectacle of large-scale printmaking to diverse communities throughout the state of Texas. Since 2010, A³ Press has focused in forming a powerful visual chronicle of ongoing socio-political injustices as experienced and interpreted by the communities of the frontera region and the wider state of Texas. The perspectives and artistic voices of over thirty collaborating printmakers are interwoven within this body of work, offering a rich tapestry of narratives and visual representations that document a critical period in the region's history. These prints serve not only as artistic expressions but also as vital historical documents, capturing the concerns, struggles, and resilience of the communities from which they emerged. This exhibition thus offers a unique opportunity to engage with a powerful intersection of art, community, and social commentary, underscoring the enduring relevance of printmaking as both an art of the people and a medium of revolution.
Join us at the opening reception on Friday, July 11, 2025, from 6:00-9:00pm.
Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on view through August 14, 2025.
