An innovative hybrid of studio spaces for artists residencies with a communal workspace that facilitates collaboration, Indigo Arts Alliance provides an environment for the production of artwork in all media across disciplines. It is intended for professional, mid-career and emerging artists to explore and grow their work in a creative atmosphere. Experienced creatives in visual art, music, dance, and writing hone their craft while exploring new ideas. Indigo serves to integrate the arts and humanities into the fabric of everyday life offering public engagement workshops, seminars, and symposiums.

It is almost impossible to envision myself as an artist without engaging in the community of other artists of color. For me, we are creating the room at Indigo to birth ideas that value our past and our future. That’s why this model is distinctive.

“I do think it is important to know the origins, the area from which something or somebody comes. But I think the greatness of our nation, in these United States is that we are this infusion of people from all over the world and that all of us have made a significant contribution to the meaning of what American culture is or will become”.

It is important that artists of color are part of the fabric of our creative community. I believe that art transforms lives and is one of the best mechanisms for enabling people to connect at a deep level.
