Institute of American Indian Arts visit

Apr 23, 2010 | Blog, Inside the College Fund

We made our way from Crownpoint to Santa Fe to visit the Institute of American Indian Arts, “the nation’s only fine arts college devoted solely to the artistic and cultural traditions of all American Indians.” IAIA has produced many of the top names in Native art. The school is a hot bed for up and coming filmmakers and artists, but also museum archivists and lawyers.

We were welcomed by the students and staff and had an amazing day of interviews. Watch this clip of Dylan Iron Shirt telling us about his tattoo.
