Greetings!
Spring is here!
We are excited to announce the honoring of several amazing artists, including Lorna Simpson - Umbrella Arts gallery has arranged for En Foco members to have a substantial discount on the tickets for tomorrow night's event (March 28th).
Got work? We'd like to see it. We are seeking submissions for Touring Gallery, Nueva Luz... and the guidelines for New Works #12 are now available.
If you haven't had the chance to see the work of Myra Greene and Sama Alshaibi stop by before April 5th: it's a powerful show.
We'd like to also welcome back Daniel Schmeichler, Nueva Luz's co-editor, who is settling in after a several month trek through China and Venezuela. He's already hard at work on the summer issue!
Best Wishes,
The En Foco Team
