The Institute of American Indian Arts is a college focused on Native American art. It is situated in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is congressionally chartered, and was created by an executive order of former American President John F. Kennedy in 1962. It offers two- and four-year undergraduate degrees in museum studies, creative writing, visual communications, indigenous liberal studies, studio art, and new media art.[1] The college offered its first bachelor's degrees in 2001, and in 2006 graduated 43 students.

IAIA also operates the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, which is housed in the historic Santa Fe Federal Building (the old Post Office), a landmark Pueblo Revival building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [2] The museum features the Allan Houser Sculpture Garden.
