Education Affiliates

Purpose
This section of the Art Resource Traditions site is a clearinghouse for organizations and institutions interested in collaborating with art resource projects, both in association with our own base of expertise and also with other institutions listed.

During the early years of the Latin American Art Resource Project, it was formally affiliated with Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. Since then, affiliations have been conducted on a per-project basis, each of which has provided specific strengths and benefits.

There are a number of practical purposes for this listing.

• Many projects cannot be accomplished by one organization alone. Often, there is a need for the complementary expertise and infrastructure—legal, educational, and economic—that one organization can provide another.
• When projects are conducted in affiliation with non-profits, budgets can be independently administered and tax-deductibility can be properly conferred to contributors.
• We will be asking our past collaborators if they would be interested in joining this list. Combined with new submissions, we will eventually be able to piece together a picture of collaborative possibilities in different regions. Once we have a sufficiently comprehensive list, we plan to post it on this page.

Affiliating
Since the meaning of the word “affiliation” is quite elastic, we ask each organization that submits its name to describe itself and some of the ways that it might be interested in collaborating if funding were to become available. To be in the listing does not signify a commitment to collaborate, but rather an interest in doing so if the right mix of funding and complementarities can be found.

For submissions, please provide the following basic information to resources@swetcharnik.com:

• Name of organization or institution:
• Address:
• Telephone:
• Fax:
• Email:

Please briefly describe the nature of your institution, its history, and its facilities. Also indicate the kinds of collaboration in which you are most interested, as well as any special expertise or resource you might be able to bring to such a collaboration.
