Dear IAIA Community,
As many of you know, IAIA normally schedules an Open House during the fall semester in which we invite the general public to visit our campus for guided tours, open classrooms and studios with demonstrations, film screenings, a bronze pour, etc. The open houses provide an opportunity for the general public to visit our campus and discover more about our mission and programs as well as showcasing the talents of our creative faculty, staff, and students. Of course, since our campus is currently closed to visitors, it is impossible to schedule a regular open house.
After consulting with Eric Davis, Marketing and Communications Director, and receiving input and recommendations from the President’s Advisory Council, however, we have decided to schedule a virtual open house during the third week of November -- November 16-20. We are determined that the virus will not preclude us from sharing with others, both near and far, the beauty and creativity present on our campus and at the museum.
Thank you for your support.
Robert Martin, Ed.D.

The virtual museum was co-created by our Senior Museum Education Manager, Winoka Yepa (Diné), and Photographer Lisa Hinson of 5D Media, who provided the high-resolution photographs used for this VR experience.

Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts
Available now at the MoCNA Store, Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (2020), exposes the central role of the Institute of American Indian Arts as an epicenter of the dynamic and under-studied contemporary Native Arts movement (1962 to present). This unique resource not only guides educators and the public in how to interpret key interpretative American Indian art themes such as the body, dance, and visual icons using Indigenous methodologies, it also charts contemporary Native arts origins, drawing from the wisdom of our elders, artists, poets and educators.
Making History features poetry by Alex Jacobs (Mohawk) and Elizabeth Woody (Navajo/Warm Springs/Wasco/Yakama), and original essays by David Wade Chambers, Charles A. Dailey, Lara M. Evans (Cherokee), Stephen C. Fadden (Mohawk), Ryan S. Flahive, Suzanne Newman Fricke, Alex Jacobs (Mohawk), Tatiana Lomahaftewa-Singer (Hopi/Choctaw), Robert Martin (Cherokee), Nancy Marie Mithlo (Chiricahua Apache), Patsy Phillips (Cherokee), John Paul Rangel (Mestizo, Apache, Navajo, Spanish descent), Jessie Ryker-Crawford (White Earth Chippewa), and David Warren (Santa Clara Pueblo). This valuable resource contains two-hundred works of art, many that have never been photographed or circulated prior, and twenty-four archival photographs from IAIA’s nearly sixty-year history.
To purchase, please visit the MoCNA Store, Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, by phone at (505) 983-8900, or purchase online by clicking here.

Please join me in welcoming MoCNA’s new Museum Collections Registrar, Katherine Barry!
Ms. Barry, also known as Katie, comes to IAIA from the Stark Museum of Art in Southeast Texas. In her five years at the Stark, she was responsible for tracking and caring for objects in the art collection, maintaining physical and digital records for each object, and managing loans. Originally from Pendleton, Oregon, Katie previously served as an Anne Ray Intern at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, and as an analyst, archival project contractor, and research library aid for Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. She holds a BA in History and Anthropology from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. Katie says she is “thrilled to join the IAIA staff and looks forward to collaborating with the rest of the team to advance awareness and scholarship of contemporary Native American art.” We are equally as happy to have her join our team.
