Mission Statement

IAM's mission is to foster the development of new work in interdisciplinary art, acting as a laboratory for creative artists and their projects.

Vision Statement

IAM at the vanguard of new directions in art, bringing artist, scientists, technology, media, craftsperson and philosopher together in the creation of innovation and relevant art for today's audience.

IAM’s activities include performances, exhibitions, lectures, workshops, publications and outreach.

While other arts organizations emphasize the presentation of art, IAM focuses on supporting the artist through the entire creation process, from the conceptual stage to development, production, presentation, documentation and promotion. IAM is available, as needed, at any stage and for any portion of an interdisciplinary project. While in some cases, IAM may be the presenter, it often seeks out partners for the final presentation.
