The Islington Mill Art Academy is an independent artist education project based on the 5th floor of Isington Mill in Salford, UK. It offers a framework for learning and development and a place for talk, discussion and generation of ideas.
- Current Projects:
--------------- Nightschool: An artschool as a nightclub ---------------
Nightschool is a new project by Islington Mill Art Academy that will see the group take up residence in the club space on the ground floor of Islington Mill in Salford.
The group will be responsible for the day to day running of the club and the events that happen there as well as using it as their working and project space. They will have free reign to change, adapt and alter the space according to their working practices.
The project presents an interesting opportunity to reappraise the methods in which The Art Academy functions and the participants are keen to see how their current working practices adapt to this new and unlikely environment. Similarly, they will be interested to see how their interventions will affect the use of the space as a nightclub and events space.
--------------- Residency Program ---------------------------------
The Art Academy has an active residency program working with international artists and musicians.
A recent resident has been artist, Ingo Gerken from Berlin and upcoming residencies this year include musician, Anni Rossi and artist Rollin Hunt, both from Chicago.
