The 528.0 Regional Print Exhibit: Futures is sponsored by Mo'Print and the Center for Visual Art, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and will be hosted at the Center for Visual Art (CVA) in Denver's Arts District on Santa Fe in conjunction with Denver's Month Of Printmaking (March 2026).

Through their prints, participating artists will highlight the role of art in shaping and reflecting our collective future.
