The self-directed Artist-In-Residence program provides affordable space for artists of all mediums to create in. It is intended for, but not limited to, visual artists, filmmakers, curators, musicians, producers, directors, writers, and photographers. Artists also have the opportunity to facilitate outreach programs such as artist talks, concerts, studio visits, workshops and exhibitions. These activities are intended to promote interaction and professional development, and provide access for the community to a diverse range of arts practices.
“With three weeks to spare…
…it was effortless to sink deep into concentration with our work. Any time in Wells is always an immersing experience. The hardest part was driving out of town.”
Brendan Steele of the band, Red Haven, IMA’s first artists-in-residence
