Join us at Alto Gallery (1900 35th St, Suite B, Denver, CO 80216) on First Friday, March 6, 6 - 10 PM for the Opening Reception of Close to Home. In conjunction with Colorado's Month of Printmaking, the show is guest curated by Mo'Print co-chair Emily Moyer and features works from Colorado-based printmakers. Free event, open to the public. Refreshments served. On view March 6 - 28.

Alto Gallery is pleased to present Close to Home, a group exhibition guest curated by Emily Moyer. Close to Home brings together ten printmaking artists to explore what “local” means in personal and collective ways. The multi-media exhibition considers individual narratives to create a complex picture of what "home" can be. Individuals are shaped by proximity and experience to become part of a larger group. Through diverse printmaking approaches, the artists reflect on the people, environments, and values that define what is close to them. Together, these works invite viewers to reflect on what it means to be close to home.

Exhibiting artists: JayCee Beyale, Tiana Boisseau-Palo, Taiko Chandler, Virginia Diaz Saiki, Jennifer Ghormley, Lizeth Guadalupe, Lucy Holtsnider, Andi Newberry, Luis Perez, Jeff Shepherd
