The following artists have completed printmaking residencies at Tamarind Institute (Albuquerque, NM) or Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts (Pendleton, OR) in Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art:

The Migrations project, partially funded by grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, was developed to identify and showcase emerging Native American artists who are working with a contemporary vocabulary.

An exhibition comprising two prints by each artist and approximately eight pieces of each artist's work in other media will open at the University of New Mexico Art Museum on September 29, 2006 and then travel to institutions across the country. If you are interested in hosting this traveling exhibition in 2007 or after, please contact Mimi Roberts at the Museum of New Mexico, Traveling Exhibitions Program (TREX), 505-476-5084.A book on the six artists, with color reproductions and essays by Jo Ortel, Lucy Lippard, Kathleen Howe, and Gerald McMaster, will be published by the University of New Mexico Press. The book will be edited by Marjorie Devon.

A smaller exhibition comprising twelve framed prints, two by each of the participating artists, will be available to community venues in early 2005. Please contact Marjorie Devon at Tamarind Institute if you have an interest in hosting this exhibition.
