Artist-in-Residence (A-i-R)

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.

The A-i-R program is open to artists who work in painting, drawing, beadwork, quillwork, weaving, basketry or other textile and fiber arts, printmaking and photography, digital art, installation art, sculpture, bronze, glass, jewelry, ceramics, and hide and leather work.
