Indigo Arts Alliance

WHO WE ARE
Building Artists Relationships that Last a Lifetime

Indigo Arts Alliance is a Black owned/operated Artist Residency Program based in Portland, Maine. Founded in 2019, Indigo Arts Alliance has worked to amplify creative expressions and build greater opportunities for artists of color in Maine’s local arts scene.

Our artists residency program works to connect artists from the Portland community with artists across the African Diaspora, elevating the voices and visions of Maine’s Black and Brown community members in the marginalized spaces they’ve historically occupied.

Together, artists and our foundation mutually support each other to ensure a future wherein the cultures and traditions of Black and Brown artists are visible and validated.

LIFE AT IAA
Cultivating the Artistic Development of people of Black and Brown descent.

Acting as both parts a studio and an event space, IAA’s headquarters have become a known place for community gathering and an incubator to artistic expressions. Working at Indigo Arts Alliance offices will have you stationed at a crossroads for creative exchange as you will encounter artists from many backgrounds who work across an array of mediums.
