Since 2010, Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer (TANA) has worked with visiting artists to create limited-edition, signed and numbered, archival silkscreen prints. Many of the editions were created in close collaboration with Malaquias Montoya — master printer, TANA cofounder and UC Davis professor emeritus with additional support from TANA’s resident artists and staff.
This exhibition celebrates eight years of working one-on-one with a wide variety of artists to realize their creative vision, said Maceo Montoya, director of TANA and associate professor of Chicana/o Studies.
“We hope this important exchange and collaboration between established and budding artists continues for years to come,” Maceo said.
Until now, TANA’s limited editions have been stored in flat files, but TANA is making prints available for purchase.
Images of available prints and pricing are viewable on the Online Catalog. For now, all prints are 50 percent off. For purchasing inquiries please contact TANA's new associate director José Arenas at jaarenas@ucdavis.edu.
All proceeds will go toward supporting TANA’s mission, in particular its free silkscreen workshops, special exhibitions and visiting artist program.
For the last eight years, TANA has been an important cultural venue in the greater Woodland area. Sponsored by the Chicana/o Studies Department at UC Davis, TANA's mission is to be a transformative space where all members of the community can partake in the creative process.
There is a UC Davis video about TANA's work.
