IAIA Names
Founding Director
for
MFA in Studio Arts Program
In October of this year, The Higher Learning Commission, IAIA's accrediting organization, approved the school's application to launch an MFA Program in Studio Arts. A founding director for the program has recently been hired.
Dr. Mario A. Caro (Colombian Mestizo) is a researcher, curator, and critic of art who has published widely on the history, theory, and criticism of contemporary Indigenous arts. He has taught graduate courses at Indiana University, New York University, and, most recently, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Art, Culture, and Technology Program.
Dr. Caro commented: "I'm delighted and honored to join IAIA to contribute to the Institute's tremendous legacy of nurturing Native arts and cultures. The development of this unique program is part of IAIA's logical growth and fills a critical gap in graduate education - an MFA in Studio Arts, a terminal degree focusing on the Native art production."
Felipe J. Estudillo Colón (Laguna Pueblo), Interim Academic Dean stated that: “We are thrilled and humbled to have Dr. Mario A. Caro join our academic team as the IAIA Studio Arts MFA Program founding director. Dr. Caro not only brings a wealth of experience and expertise but also a boundless dedication to the perpetuation of Contemporary Indigenous Arts and Culture. As IAIA celebrates 60 years of unwavering commitment to contemporary Indigenous art and culture, we look forward to the future and to the addition of Dr. Caro to the IAIA family.”

Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts
Available now at the MoCNA Store, Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (2020), exposes the central role of the Institute of American Indian Arts as an epicenter of the dynamic and under-studied contemporary Native Arts movement (1962 to present). This unique resource not only guides educators and the public in how to interpret key interpretative American Indian art themes such as the body, dance, and visual icons using Indigenous methodologies, it also charts contemporary Native arts origins, drawing from the wisdom of our elders, artists, poets and educators.
This valuable resource contains two-hundred works of art, many that have never been photographed or circulated prior, and twenty-four archival photographs from IAIA’s nearly sixty-year history.
To purchase, please visit the MoCNA Store, Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, by phone at (505) 983-8900, or purchase online by clicking here.
