Thanks for alerting us to this! I recalled seeing Stranger Factory but not exactly where, so I googled and found they have a website and a physical address, 109 Carlisle Boulevard Northeast Albuquerque, NM 87106. Across the street and a bit north of the Montanita Co-op and only a 4-6 blocks east of Astrozombies (the best comic shop in Albuquerque, NM, USA!). I'll be sure to check out the show because I like the work of many of the artists.
