grants and special projects

Synergy: Word+Visual Art+Printmaking

National Endowment for the Arts awards a first-time grant to Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless for a collaborative project between ArtStreet, the Harwood Art Center, and the Tamarind Institute

This project, called Synergy: Word+Visual Art+Printmaking, will begin in September 2008 and culminate with two exhibits open to the public in March and April 2009. The Synergy project will assemble a team of writers from Harwood Art Center, print makers from Tamarind Institute, and artists from ArtStreet (a community art studio) who will work to define, develop, and document the process of providing a formal technical grounding for artists in the homeless community who lack access to the arts and artistic instruction.

exhibitions

Kyoto Hanga

Five North American workshops--Tamarind Institute, Paulson Press (Berkeley, CA), Solo Impression (New York, NY), Segura Publishing Company (Phoenix, AZ), and Pyramid Atlantic (Baltimore, MD)--will exhibit prints they have published in conjunction with Japanese printmakers in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art

Grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts provided partial funding for Migrations, a project developed to identify and showcase emerging Native American artists working with a contemporary vocabulary. Six artists were selected to collaborate with professional printers at Tamarind Institute or Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts. A traveling exhibition, with a comprehensive catalogue, includes the prints as well as several works in other mediums by each artist. The exhibition appeared at the University of New Mexico Art Museum in 2006. It is currently traveling.
