Arts & Culture
IMAN supports the creation, collaboration and presentation of community-engaged art that unites disconnected communities, facilitates transformative healing, and fosters the ability to radically reimagine the world.
IMAN presents artists on a local and national level through live performance shows series called CommUNITY Café and a large festival called Takin’ It to the Streets.
IMAN invests in a network of artists at the intersection of culture, social justice, and community through opportunities, a fellowship program, and an annual retreat.
The Beloved Community Ceramic Studio is an arts space on IMAN’s campus which hosts a number of free or low-cost ceramics classes and community engagements led by local artists.
Engaging artists, the artistic process, and creative expression is integral to IMAN’s work of fostering health, wellness, and healing.
