“There is no other experience like being at a tribal art school—being amongst your peers, being taught by people who are from your heritage.”
“IAIA has really pushed me further to keep enduring in my art. We’re all just one big family. We all support each other.”
“The IAIA Community—faculty, staff, peers—were really supportive. But I have to say that the Learning Lab tutors were instrumental. The tutors were good listeners, and they helped me—daily. ”
