The Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program has worked with the Tibetan community in the state since 1993, locating artists, interviewing them about their art work and cultural practices, and documenting these extensively over the years. Collaborative projects produced include the 1995 exhibit and catalogue Auspicious Signs: Tibetan Arts in New England; the nomination of painter Jampa Tsondue for a Connecticut Office of the Arts Fellowship which he won in 2015, and an application to the Fund for Folk Culture grant which he received in 2007; four apprenticeships in Tibetan arts; and inclusion in several exhibitions produced by CCHAP.
