The Indigenous Performing Arts Alliance logo was designed by Tania Willard of Red Willow Designs. She generously provided the following artist statement:

“Using a photo of a dance piece curated by Michelle Olson of Raven Spirit Dance (photo by Chris Randle) the movement fringe on the deer mask being danced becomes the suggestion of movement and form, dance and celebration in the IPAA word mark. The circle represents our creative communities sharing in indigenous arts, not just an audience but a member of a circle that connects us all to the Creator and the act of creation.”

We have – with the help of our very talented web-developer – engaged the logo in the website’s design, specifically, the colour scheme and the bullet points which repeat the logo’s “audience” circles. Tania Williard’s logo focuses on fluidity: within performance and between both the audience and the performer(s) as well as the individual to the whole community and the Creator. In this fashion, IPAA hopes that the website not only incorporates this fluidity in its design, but enacts and extends this principle of relations to our members, interested peoples, and the greater community.
