Dedicated to
showcasing contemporary Native American Fine Art and to training the next
generation of Native Museum professionals.
In 1971 the
Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), then located on the Santa Fe
Indian School campus, formed the IAIA Museum with a two-fold objective:
first, as a museum studies teaching facility; and second, as a public
venue to promote the understanding of its educational endeavors. The IAIA
Museum is a vital space for contemporary Native American arts and culture.
Its interpretive approach is to design programs based on the Museum’s
exhibitions and collections. The viewer can be exposed to the multiple
environments in which Indian artists live and create. With this view, the
Museum hopes to cut through the conventional discourse of “Contemporary vs
Traditional” or the “Two Worlds” concepts, which tends to sterilize and
oversimplify studies in Native American fine art. The IAIA Museum strives
to offer the public, instead, a more complex view of contemporary Native
art that reflects its diverse cross-cultural influences and explores its
complicated historical development through its educational programming.
