Help inspire creativity and art-making that enlivens our community!
Art for these times
At Imago Foundation for the Arts (IFA), we offer visual art, music, poetry, and films that inspire and build connections between artists and the community as they spark genuine conversations and provide moments of reflection that can be life changing.
We’ve been committed to this work for more than 22 years! A small group of IFA volunteer artists and community members has given hundreds of people of all ages and social circumstances the opportunity to collaborate, perform, converse, learn and enjoy each other’s company in a safe setting. Our mission is simple: to inspire creativity, promote artmaking and enrich our community.
In 2026, we are looking forward to The Big Show, our annual open community exhibit that last year drew 107 artists and 248 works of art. We are also planning an exploration of new ways of integrating poetry and other art forms with visual art, and the initiation of a lecture series sponsored by a memorial fund set up by the family of the late IFA Exhibiting Artist Howard Windham. Howard was a dear Friend of Imago and an artist, designer and educator who made a lasting impact on countless individuals.
Your contributions will not only help with these initiatives but also support behind-the-scenes activities, utility costs, and gallery refurbishments.
