Wally Workman Gallery: Printmakers: In Good Company
It's like Print Austin started a bit early in this excellent gallery on West Sixth, as each of the five printmakers in the gallery’s stable of artists invited another printmaker they admire to show alongside them, resulting in an exhibition of work by (*does math*) 10 printmakers from across the country. Exciting? Yes, because – look, these are the artists: Ellen Heck, Susan Belau, Kathryn Polk, Andrew Polk, Revi Meicler, Emily Weiskopf, Elvia Perrin, Luisa Duarte, Julia Lucey, and Golbanou Moghaddas.Through Jan. 30
