Indian Art Institute
Offers Advanced
Study for Eskimos
I “Youth is not behind in Nome,”
stated Alvin Warren, Director of
Relations for the Institute of
American Indian Arts from Sante
Fe, New Mexico. This observation
was made after seeing the young
people doing the twist during the
lunch hour at the Glue Pot.
Mr. Warren addressed educa
tional leaders and other selected
interested persons on the new
school to open next fall in Sante Fe
for art —- interested students in
grades 10 through 12, as well as
art students preparing for college.
The Institute , he stated, will offer
also an advanced program in
specialized studies in arts to meet
the needs of high school graduates,
who wish to do two years of work
above the 12th grade.
This opportunity is open to Alas
J kan natives of one-quarter or more
native blood. Talented Eskimos
will mingle with the Seminole of
Florida as well as the Hopi, Sioux,
Chippewa, Pueblo, Navaho, Apache
and other Indian tribes.
Young people between the ages
of 16 and 21 are sought and those
of this age in the area who are
now out of school, but interested in
such study may get more informa
tion, Warren stated, from the BIA
office here or in Juneau.
In the pure art career field, the
graduate may work as a full-time
artist or craftsman. He may be
independent and self-employed, or
he may be a member of a guild
and work with a cooperative group,
i or he may be employed as a staff
artist in any one of the many
operations of the professions, in
dustry or business.
In the art-related career field the
title “artist” may not actually be
emphasized in his job title, but the
nature of the worn will be based cn
his art background or education.
The graduate may do art-related
work in museums, schools, news- j
papers, churches and book publish
ing work, research projects involv
ing science, medicine, etc., the I
National Park Service, US. Infor-!
mation Agency, advertising and!
other types of commercial art, il
lustration and design, work in the
entertainment profession involving
television, movies and the theater.
The field is large and varied. So,
regardless of whether the graduate
works in pure Indian traditional
art; geiifelly as an artist
or art businessman, or whether he
follows an art-related career, he
can make a good living and also
contribute significantly to art and
mankind. His contribution should
be unique in that it stems out of
an Indian background.
