Indian American artists deserve to be part of the American art story.
Indian American artists deserve to be part of the American art story.
Across the United States, artists of Indian origin are creating work shaped by migration, memory, identity, tradition, experimentation, and contemporary American life. Yet finding community, visibility, and opportunity within the arts can be difficult.
IAAA exists to change that. We create spaces for artists to exhibit their work, learn from one another, build meaningful connections, and bring Indian American artistic voices to wider audiences.

The goal of the 2025 Artist's Retreat in Florence, AL was to foster stronger bonds within the organization, and to make a meaningful impact in the communities that its members live in, by volunteering their time and energies in furthering the local community.
Special thanks to Amita Bhakta for leading the whole project, being our local host, opening up her home and making all the artists who showed up feel like part of one big family. Thanks to Abhishek Nigam for working on the Grant with Amita that made the retreat possible for the members to enjoy
