The year 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) on the SAR campus. Designed to serve as a permanent home for the Indian Arts Fund collection, whose history spans all the way back to 1922, the IARC was built as a storage and research facility to promote Southwestern Native American arts. Since its establishment in 1978, the IARC has served as a resource for scholars, artists, and most importantly, the source communities represented in the collection. The collection has also grown over the years as a result of generous donations from private collectors and artist fellows. To celebrate this momentous occasion in SAR history, the IARC will host events throughout the year that celebrate the scholarship and achievements of our artist fellowship and intern programs, while honoring the living history and traditions of local Native American communities.
