Featuring works held in public collections within the United States, Public Access gathers together a selection of prints that curators and directors across the nation have identified as meaningful for both their collections and communities. Spanning six decades of collaboration at Tamarind, from 1965 to 2025, the exhibition reflects the enduring role of public institutions in preserving and stewarding the work of artists that deepen, challenge and diversify our understanding of American life and culture.
Exhibiting artists include Laylah Ali, Ruth Asawa, Jarvis Boyland, Sonya Clark, Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez, Jeffrey Gibson, Margo Humphrey, Julia Jacquette, Elaine de Kooning, Nicholas Krushenick, Ellen Lesperance, Nikki Maloof, Nathan Oliviera, Ed Ruscha, Rose B. Simpson and June Wayne.
