Indigenous Arts Initiative<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Creating opportunity and supporting Indigenous artists<\/h5>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
\n \n\n

The Indigenous Arts Initiative (IAI) supports a rotating series of Indigenous art labs that provide artists an opportunity to hone creative skills, expand professional networks and gain leadership experience through collaborative, mentor-based programming at the University of Kansas. The workshops are open to any artist, however if space is limited, Native artists will be given priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a partnership between KAC, KU Film and Media Studies<\/a>, the Spencer Museum of Art<\/a> and the Lied Center<\/a>, the IAI offers a series of collaborative workshops, masterclasses and public events in Lawrence, Kansas, culminating with the annual KU Indigenous Cultures Festival. In addition to training and mentoring emerging artists, the goal of the Initiative is to enhance Indigenous leadership at the border of artistic and community practice, while strengthening ties between the State of Kansas and Indigenous communities. Each year, mid-career Visiting Artists are selected from a range of mediums, including visual art, film and media, and music and performance to instruct and mentor artists from across Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IAI Visiting Artists will present a multi-day workshop in their respective mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n
