Each year, the Eiteljorg selects several Native American artists from across the United States and Canada to share their talents with the local community. Selected artists receive an honorarium and work closely with staff to plan and carry out demonstrations, workshops, discussions, and community projects.

During the academic year, the IAIA Artist-in-Residence (A-i-R) program hosts up to 15 Native American and First Nation artists for variable-length residencies. Residencies take place on the IAIA campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where artists can engage in a meaningful period of artmaking and interaction with IAIA students, staff, faculty, and the local arts community. Applicants whose work engages with cultural traditions through materials, techniques, and subject matter are particularly encouraged to apply.
Through the concept of art as a traditional path of creativity, IAIA excels at skill building, provoking thought and providing exceptional educational opportunities. IAIA is a place to embrace the past, enrich the present, and create the future, moving ahead to paths yet unexplored and undiscovered.
