Claire Hignett ‘Secret and Sacred’ 2015

Claire Hignett is a current member of IMAA. She will be presenting new work, which is a development of work made during the recent IMAA 6 month residency at Regent Trading Estate. http://www.clairehignett.co.uk/

Islington Mill Art Academy (IMAA) is the Mill’s very own independent art school. Founded in 2007 by Mill Director Maurice Carlin, it led the way for many subsequent alternative self-education projects responding to questions around the relevance and usefulness of mainstream arts education.

IMAA is a constantly evolving entity which governs and sustains itself. The people who are there at any one moment decide on the activity, structure and direction of the school. There is no distinction between student and tutor, everyone is engaged in learning together. There is no application process or graduation. People leave when they feel ready to, it is based on a willingness to be there for the time that you are there. If you are interested in joining, please get in touch or come along to our next event.
