The ZACC is thrilled to present Last Best Print Fest. Celebrating the art of printmaking with works from over 40 amazing artists on the theme ‘Proustian Moment’, this exhibit showcases many techniques and styles and opens with a public gallery reception and a variety of hands-on printmaking demonstrations.
The Last Best Print Fest exhibition includes works from featured artist Reinaldo Gil Zambrano, an award-winning printmaking artist based in Spokane, WA from Caracas, Venezuela. His journey started when he received a scholarship to the United World Colleges in Costa Rica. As a Shelby-Davis scholar, he completed his BFA and MFA in the US, moving on to become a beloved community builder, artist, and art professor. Reinaldo’s works use printmaking and collaboration heavily linked to community building and include mural work and installation. Reinaldo has been awarded prizes and recognition for his visual work during his teaching career. Reinaldo’s work investigates the universal idea of home and the issues we share as humans while preserving people’s stories through visual storytelling.
To celebrate the art of printmaking, the opening will feature printmaking demonstrations including BYOT (Bring Your Own T-shirt) screen printing from 5-7:30 PM. So be sure to bring a light-colored T-shirt, tote bag, bandana, or other textile, so that you can take home your own Last Best Print Fest souvenir!
