<b>On Thursday, April 17, the Howard R. Lamar Center for the Study of
Frontiers and Borders will present a talk by Charles M. Carrillo,
award-winning artist and scholar of the history and cultural heritage
of
New Mexico. The lecture will take place at 5:00 pm in 102
Linsly-Chittenden Hall (63 High Street). <br>

Carrillo is a santero, a carver and painter of sacred images. His work
is
in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Smithsonian
Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., the Museum of
International Folk Art in Santa Fe, and the Denver Museum of Art. The
National Endowment for the Arts named him as a National Heritage Fellow
in 2006 and noted that he is recognized not only as the primary
authority
on this subject but also as the most accomplished artist practicing in
this regional tradition. His honors include the Lifetime Achievement
Award at the Spanish Market and the Museum of International Folk Art
Hispanic Heritage Award. Carrillo, who earned his Ph.D. in
anthropology from the University of New Mexico, has also lectured
widely
and is currently an adjunct professor in that university’s Religious
Studies Program. Carrillo is the author of <i>Hispanic New Mexican
Pottery</i> (1996), <i>A Tapestry of Kinship</i> (co-authored with
José
Antonio Esquibel in 2004), and <i>Saints of the Pueblos</i> (2004).<br>
