House of Welcome Cultural Arts Center

The House of Welcome Cultural Arts Center is part of the House of Welcome, the first longhouse built on a U.S. College Campus. Our work as a public service center is to support and promote Native arts and cultures and engage with Indigenous cultures throughout the world.

We support studio arts specifically in fiber art and carving on our Indigenous Arts Campus which includes a fiber arts studio and a carving studio complex. The work includes college classes, short and long term arts workshops and residencies, locally. We also support a artist workshop program in Native American communities in a four state region including Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. We provide grant support to colleges and universities who are seeking to improve or begin work in a similar fashion with Tribal artists from Tribal communities within their own service regions.
