Indigo Arts Alliance

About

Indigo Arts Alliance in Portland, Maine, offers the Mentorship Residency Program, designed to support professional and emerging artists of African descent. This program pairs a National or International artist with a Local/Regional artist to foster co-mentorship, dialogue, and collaboration. The residency provides a flexible 3,000 square foot community studio, with a private one-bedroom apartment for visiting artists. National artists stay for one month, while international artists stay for two months. The residency encourages artists to engage with the local community and participate in studio visits and public programming. Artists receive a stipend and travel expenses are covered for significant distances. The program aims to create an inclusive environment for Black and Brown artists to advance their practice and build networks.
