TAMARIND COLLECTORS CLUB

$550 per year - A Great Way to Support Tamarind!

The Collectors Club was founded to help support Tamarind's educational programs. Although we are a division of the College of Fine Arts of the University of New Mexico, we receive only partial funding from the University. Many of our special projects are possible only through the generosity of our Collectors Club. Annual membership dues are used primarily for scholarships and occasionally for symposia, publications, and other special projects. Besides supporting Tamarind, Collectors Club members recieve a 20% discount on most print purchases, and each year receive a lithograph by an important contemporary artist. In addition, only Collectors Club members are eligible to purchase previous years' prints, when available for $850. Contact us for a list of previous club prints that are still available for purchase.

A limited number of memberships are available on a first-come, first-serve basis each year. Current members have the first opportunity to renew by mid-May each year. We do not announce the name of the artist in advance, but we assure you that it will be a high quality print by a recognized artist--appropriate to add to your own collection or to donate to your favorite museum (and possibly take advantage of a tax deduction).

HOW IT WORKS: The Collector's Club opens in the spring when we send the previous year's members a renewal letter. Previous members have until mid-spring to renew their memberships. After this date, all spots are open to anyone who wishes to join.

You can purchase or renew your membership by phone, email or mail. Provide billing and shipping addresses (Please note, we ship our prints UPS Ground, and therefore cannot ship to PO boxes. If you would like to make other arrangements, please let us know.)

You will receive a thank you confirmation letter containing your print number, payment information/ receipt and your shipping address. In the fall we will send out a letter to members announcing who the artist is for that year's print, along with a short bio about the artist's career. Two weeks later your print is in the mail! (Or if you live in the Albuquerque or Santa Fe area it is available for pick-up)

Please print the membership form and return it with your check (payable to: The Tamarind Institute). Or, you can call - we accept VISA or MasterCard. Printer Friendly Form. Tamarind Institute - Collector's Club, 2500 Central Avenue SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106
