Paloma and Leila: A Tale of Twin Triumph

Tamarind Institute is pleased to present Fritz Scholder: 1974–1984, an exhibition
showcasing 20 rarely seen lithographs created by the late American artist Fritz Scholder.
Spanning a decade of his printmaking practice from 1974 to 1984, the selected works reflect
Scholder’s increasing confidence with bold color, layered imagery and expressive mark-making on the press, and chart his evolving balance between figurative and symbolic abstraction, revealing an artist in constant dialogue with his materials and ideas. A closing reception will be held on Thursday, August 21, 4–6pm, with additional programming announced.

Tamarind Gallery hours: Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm

The New Mexico Double Bass Workshop will be host to many amazing double bass faculty to lead masterclasses, chamber ensembles, jazz courses, and a double bass orchestra (among other activities) during the days of June 25th-June 29th 2025 at the UNM Center For The Arts!

Our faculty/guest artists currently include Paul Ellison, Joe Ferris, Jack Hanan, Frank Murry, Art Sheinberg, Marco Retana, and Tobias Vigneau. This event is sponsored in part by Robertson’s Violin Shop and UNM’s double bass professor, Albert Laszlo (and his wonderfully supportive wife, Patricia Wood), among other donors. Also featuring a lunch time performance by the Tracey Whitney Trio.
