The Indigenous Peoples Art Gallery and Café is a space where Indigenous artists can come and show their works. We will have art exhibitions, spoken word events, film showings, cooking demos, educators, book releases, and interviews with artists. The Indigenous Peoples Art Gallery and Café is where you will find the best in Indigenous Arts. The idea is to give Indigenous Artists a space to not only show their work, but to sell their work for what it is truly worth. We are not trying to make a profit off our artists, but we want them to succeed, and to help promote them in the best way possible.

A Meskwaki artist is working to open an indigenous art gallery and event space in Iowa City. Multidisciplinary artist and writer Dawson Davenport wants to magnify the voices of other Native American creators.

The weekly, online-only poetry series began in mid-April. Since then, it has played host to a wide variety of Indigenous artists from across the country and even tapped into international artists with a featured guest from New Zealand. Born out of necessity, the #StayHome series looks to amplify voices lost in the shuffle of mainstream politics and news cycles.

A Meskwaki Nation man attending the University of Iowa wears many hats — writer, poet, sculptor, activist, clothing entrepreneur, graphic designer, jewelry maker, radio host — but through each medium he tells the story of his culture.
