The Tamarind Institute is simply amazing. I visited recently for a meeting and was blown away by…read morethe level of quality, the diversity of their prints, and the impact they make in the larger art community. If it's open when you are in town it is well worth a visit.

More education and training-based than gallery (it's called an institute, after all), the Tamarind…read moreis a fun tour and immersive experience at the crossroads of tutelage, mastering and marketing the arts. That's more like a six-way intersection, not a crossroads, I guess, but hey, even cooler. Internationally renowned for graduating some talented future-focussed creatives, it's well worth a gander, particularly for a solid appreciation of what makes a print a true Print. The work on the walls revolve, reflecting who's been there, lately, although you'll love the permanent installations by the front door. After a brief tour of collections, the best part of your visit will be the lower levels, where students live and work together, creating startlingly vibrant prints. If you're lucky enough to get a comprehensive overview of the place, as I did, you'll see just how these works are pressed and honed, an extraordinary and ancient process that can't be duplicated by modern ink jets. This is one of those hidden gems tucked aside a college campus that I just assumed, during my five years at UNM, was simply classrooms. Not. Call to arrange your visit, and enter through the doorway next to the parking lot, southwest of Central.

I have emailed her countless times at: anne@annemitchell.net, aemitchell6482@yahoo.com, annemitchell.net., as well as contacting PayPal to respond to failure to send product that has been paid for totalling $150.97. Anne has received & signed a "domestic Return Receipt" of the complaint and copies of the complaint to the BBB in both Arizona & the state of New Mexico where she now resides. She has unprofessionaly neglected to respond with any substance of proof that she sent my product. She has continually made excuses that she was "moving at the time", that her computer "broke down", that she "cannot locate the USPS shipping receipt" (which she says she "always" keeps), it is "tax time" and "I" don't have time to look for the proof, I am doing a show and I don't have time"....etc. Anne E. Mitchell is at best lying and misrepresenting herself as a business women of honesty & integrity. I have more than adequate proof of charges made to my credit card, correspondence to her via email and postal service, a signed (but yet to respond to) proof of delivery of my complaint and response from both PayPal and the BBB for Arizona & New Mexico that she goes on record as receiving the complaint. Anne E. Mitchell continues to teach and be seen contributing to magazines, most recently Art Jewelry Vol 7 Issue 4 page 8 but cannot take seriously her theft and to answer a demand for response from a paying craftswoman. I seriously do not recommend, advise or approve doing any business with Anne E. Mitchell because of her lackadaisical attitude towards her paying customers. In short Anne E. Mitchell has stolen $150.97. from me. I am a work from home business woman of two years and it is most pitiful that Someone who has had the opportunities to make good on something has fallen short with no apologies or adequate response whatsoever. Do not purchase from this person.

Contestant: Uh, let's go with two thousand, Alex. Alex: That'll make you the leader if you get this right. Two thousand. Okay, so the answer is: "Albuquerque's Hackerspace." Contestant: What is... Quelab? Alex: That's correct! The Duke City has a hummin' hackerspace, indeed, and it's about to blow up. Attention futurists: this lil' shack (about 6,000 square feet of pure imagination and cranial connectivity) is crafting a community of people from every walk of life who dream in the über, they see things ten or fifty years out and they're just dyin' to create it. Screw The Man, they're just gonna do it. You gotta check this space out. The old and young, College educated and otherwise, a huge demographic of everyday peeps own this place. $40 a month gives them 24-hour access to the facility, tools and resources; techie entrepreneurs find this monetary pittance an absolute must. Over the past six or so years, Quelab has been the hub for ABQ tech enthusiasts. They now have a compound complete with 3D printers, a laser cutter, a shop, education sessions and plenty of bright minds that propagate brilliance. Come May 2014 the space will also open to the masses. In the meantime join them for hacknight, 7-10 pm Tuesday and Sunday evenings, geeking out on what can only be described as digital delight. I took the tour, this is one smart non-profit worth your support.
