- Indigo Arts Alliance

Indigo Arts Alliance embodies a multiracial approach to the rich intersections of citizenship, community-building, and creativity. Our work is in service to shifting historical injustices as a vital component of achieving equity for Black and Brown artists. We believe that artists are instrumental to doing the work of social justice in ways that are deeply grounded in lived experience and community. At the heart of Indigo Arts Alliance’s mission are our Artist in Residency programs, which provide Black and Brown artists an environment for the production of artwork in all media across various disciplines. 

The Mentorship Residency Program is a pioneering residency concept that serves as an arts incubator with generous workspace and modern facilities enabling the creative work of visual artists across disciplines. We foster mentorship by pairing two artists together during a residency period to cultivate rich conversation, collaboration, and exchange experiences, knowledge, art industry information and technical skills. The artist-pairing consists of a National or International artist who is traveling to the state of Maine from their respective homes to be in residence with a Local/Regional artist. The goal of the pairing is to build positive relationships that enhance the individual artists as human beings and thought leaders. We want to create healthy relationships for artists of color who are navigating their art practice and create avenues of success that build networks.

The David C. Driskell Fellowship, a cornerstone of the Indigo Arts Alliance's mission, provides crucial support to Black and Brown artists in Maine, offering them a dedicated 500 sq foot studio space at Black Seed Studio, a $700 grant, and invaluable mentorship opportunities. Honoring the legacy of the esteemed artist, historian, and Elder Advisor, David C. Driskell, this program aims to nurture the creative growth of underrepresented artists, granting them the time and resources needed for artistic development. Through this fellowship, Indigo Arts Alliance continues to uplift and empower artists of color, fostering a more inclusive and vibrant arts community in Maine and beyond.
