We're back from a jam-packed turn-and-burn blast to drop Val's pieces at the Tombstone Art Gallery's annual art show.

Of course we had to stop in at some other great galleries along the way. We adored the Endeavor Art Gallery in #BensonAZ. 🧵

We just got back from another blast to El Paso. And we *finally* got to stop into the Photographer's Collaborative gallery. We've been trying to make the timing work for ages...
