Zigmunds Priede will be exhibiting several new works in his exhibition titled “Time Revealed” which opens on Sunday, October 17, 2010 at the new ArtOrg Gallery. Mr. Priede was a printmaking professor at the University of Minnesota from 1964 to 1978, and was Master Printer for Universal Limited Art Editions starting in 1962.
