1 Attend an opening reception. Artists from the Institute of American Indian Arts’ MFA studio arts program show work at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Santa Fe at the exhibition Not Here, But There. It includes a variety of mediums by six artists whose work bridges the space between innovation and tradition, hence its title, which is a play on the phrase “neither here nor there,” meaning something that is not significant, reimagined as a reference to liminal and transitional spaces.
