UPDATED JULY 1: Extended viewing available by appointment through August 15.
Lithographs from the Tamarind is a solo exhibition by former Space 4 Art resident artist Armando de la Torre, presented by Space 4 Art in the Cooler Room at Art Produce Gallery. A Chicano mixed-media artist working in installation, sound, video, and painting, Armando is now living, working, and earning an MFA in art and ecology at the University of New Mexico.
During his time at the Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, he worked collaboratively to create a series of lithographs inspired by the Southern California and Tijuana aesthetic through imagery recorded in his daily fronterizo experience.

This Space 4 Art-produced solo exhibition is part of our year-long residency at Art Produce, funded by a generous grant from the Prebys Foundation.
The year-long programming partnership between Space 4 Art and Art Produce aims to expand support for local artists, deepen community engagement, and strengthen the city’s creative ecosystem through exhibitions, workshops, artist talks, and cross-organizational collaboration.
The Prebys grant aims to help solve structural problems such as the lack of affordable arts spaces in which community-based groups like Space 4 Art can produce accessible arts programming.
The Space 4 Art @ initiative provides a synergistic means for activation at Art Produce, which remains fiercely committed to building on decades of creative experimentation and community-building in North Park.
