Information by State  Print version

Host Organization:
Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) is located in one of the most diverse concentrations of Native peoples in North America. Serving Native students from across the country allows for a unique cultural exchange within the student learning environment. Because of their close proximity to the campus, students experience first-hand the rich cultures and traditions of the Pueblo People. Outreach and other activities that benefit students address the arts. With 250 art galleries and 12 museums located throughout the City, students have access to a variety of art mediums and are often treated, on and off campus, to art lectures and workshops conducted by alumni and other artists. At IAIA, all students are equally assured of the best opportunities for critical, professional and cultural development provided from a Native perspective.

IAIA will host the HUD-WNO simulcast presentation of La Bohème in the IAIA Auditorium on 83 Avan Nu Po Road on Sunday, September 23, 2007. This event is open to surrounding pueblos.
