For 2016/17, the IAIA Artist-in-Residence Program seeks artists for 1-month residencies taking place on the IAIA campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico between September 2016-April 2017.
This residency program has the following geographic restrictions: the artist must be a Native American or First Nations artist from one of the following regions:
– Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California)
Residencies include: $3000 Stipend, housing, meal plan for one person, car rental (if needed), a $200 budget for gas during residency, studio space on campus, $500 materials budget, and airfare to and from IAIA.
