Proudly supporting students of Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA)

Included in the evening is an art exhibit and sale showcasing extremely talented and emerging Native student artists from the globally recognized Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), one of the 34 tribal colleges and universities our mission represents and supports.

These artists carry forward their beautiful ancestral traditions while infusing it with their own techniques and perspectives. Your support lifts them financially and elevates their voices and art forms.

100% of the proceeds from their art sales go directly back to the artists to support them in their pursuit of higher education.

This is a unique experience were you can ask questions about Native art and culture, learn more about our student experiences, and even take a little piece of this culture home with you.
