Synergy: Word+Visual Art+Printmaking 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. |

 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.

A traveling exhibition, with a comprehensive catalogue, includes the prints as well as several works in other mediums by each artist.

| Funded by the
Trust for Mutual Understanding, the Connections project brought together
artists from the former Yugoslavia to encourage meaningful dialogue that
promotes understanding and cooperation among different ethnic groups. During
the month of June, six artists were in residence at Tamarind Institute.
The artists, from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia,
and Slovenia, once lived in the same country, but are now divided by politics,
ideology, and national borders. During their one-month residency, artists
also participated in a course offered through the History Department at
the University of New Mexico in conjunction with Tamarind Institute. The
visiting artists shared their experiences of remaining creative under conditions
of societal disintegration, civil war, economic atrophy, and nationalist
rhetoric. The artists participating are: Zlatan Filipovic, Bosnia-Herzegovina;
Mirjana Vodopija, Croatia; Tahar Alemendari, Kosovo; Ana Stojkovic, Macedonia;
Adam Pantic, Serbia; Damijan Kracina, Slovenia. A public reception was held on Friday, June 7th from 5 to 7 pm at Tamarind Gallery in honor of the artists, and the artists spoke about their work and experiences in New Mexico on Wednesday, June 26th at 5:30 in Tamarind Gallery |
