(07/28/10) A group of artists from Mexico spent a week in the Adirondacks this month as part of an exchange program through BluSeed Studios in Saranac Lake. Five local artists visited Mazatlan last winter, and this month's return visit was the second part of the cultural exchange. The Intercambio Grafica printmaking exchange exhibit at BluSeed continues through September 11th. On a recent steamy summer afternoon Todd Moe toured the new exhibit and spoke with five of the artists involved: Glen Rogers, Mark Jay, Lucila Santiago, Rafael Avila Tirado and BluSeed artistic director Carol Marie Vossler. Organizers say this year's exchange is a pilot project for what they hope will be more opportunities for sharing art and ideas across borders.
