Tamarind Institute invites applications for artist collaborations with its skilled student printers. Four guest artists will be selected to participate in two-week residencies in the workshop, each working with a team of student printers under the close supervision of a Tamarind Master Printer. Participating artists will create one or two print editions as outlined in the Call for Proposals, with the printers providing guidance on the materials and all technical aspects of the printing process. No printing experience necessary.

At the completion of the two-week residency, the artist will sign off on a trial proof, and the printing of the edition will take place after the artist leaves. The editions will be completed by the end of September 2025, at which time the artist will receive all of the prints and proofs for signing. With the exception of one record impression for the Tamarind archive and one printer’s proof retained by the printer, all of the prints will be the property of the artist.

With support from Getty through its Paper Project initiative, Tamarind Institute invites applications from early-career curators and print scholars to participate in an immersive, hands-on workshop on fine art lithography. Ten participants will be selected for the workshop, which takes place at Tamarind Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 19-23, 2025.

Tamarind Education Director Brandon Gunn will lead the workshop, providing an overview of the materials and technical process of lithography, printing demonstrations, and hands-on instruction with the assistance of Tamarind printers. Participants will also learn about the collaborative exchange between artist and printer at Tamarind. An evening program provides workshop participants an opportunity to share information about their home institution collections and research. Following the workshop, participants will be asked to report back for a virtual public panel discussion in June to present on a topic of interest gleaned from the workshop and plans for future research that may result from this program.

Travel, lodging, meals, and transportation will be covered by Tamarind. Participants will receive a $250 stipend. The workshop will include a full itinerary, with three days in the workshop, presentations by Tamarind staff, and visits to Takach Press, the Tamarind Archives at the University of New Mexico Art Museum and the Center for Southwest Research. The overarching goal of the workshop is to encourage curatorial access to Tamarind Institute, its related archives and resources, with the objective of sharing material knowledge and encouraging diversity within the print field.
