Blakbook Gallery, Boise, ID

Last First Thursday I got a chance to meet some really cool artists. Ross introduced me to his co-worker Bobby Gaytan (he did the flier for the the Stay-in-School Quinceañera Program) who owns Blakbook Gallery. He had an opening for some awesome local Latino artists. I finally got a chance to meet Migel Delgado, who is currently a grad student a Boise State. I also got to talk to Ana Maria Schachtel, who founded and continues to be a huge part of the Quinceañera Program, about some upcoming events and opportunities for me to show my work.
