IAIA Campus

We invite New Mexico high school juniors and seniors interested in pursuing art-related programs to visit the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) and learn about the opportunities IAIA provides in the areas of art, film, creative writing, performing arts, museum studies, and Indigenous studies. This exciting day includes lunch, a campus tour, interactive workshops, a chance to meet current IAIA students, and more.

Space for this event is limited and registration is required. Individual student registration is available as well as high school group registration. Due to limited space, we request only high school juniors or seniors attend. We encourage to schedule a separate campus tour request on another date for high school sophomores or freshmen.

We are no longer accepting registrations for the Spring Visit Day due to capacity. Contact our office to schedule a separate campus tour at (505) 424-2311.
