imperfecta arts collective.

Welcome to Imperfecta Arts Collective, a program that aims to elevate the arts by focusing on three key goals: hosting engaging art events, offering art residencies, and providing professional workshops for artists. By mixing local and international artists, this initiative will foster cultural exchange, enrich the community, and amplify diverse creative voices.

Imperfecta Arts Collective is a complex and resource-demanding, as supporting the logistical costs of hosting art events while providing the resources necessary for artist residencies and professional workshops are costly endeavors. To successfully execute this program, we seek a combination of public, private, and individual funding sources -- this is the only way for us to not only run the program but also ensure its sustainability over time.

This is why I am excited that the Imperfecta Arts Collective was recently granted fiscal sponsorship with Fractured Atlas, an international program that offers tax-deductible contributions to artists and art organizations whose projects qualify.

Here are the three key goals of the Collective and how we are planning to bring them to life:

Art Events to Engage the Local Community

Host regular art exhibitions, pop-up galleries, and community art events featuring both local and international artists.
Offer interactive experiences such as live painting sessions, artist talks, and hands-on workshops, inviting the community to actively engage with diverse artists and artistic processes.
Create a platform for diverse artistic expressions, including underrepresented voices, to elevate the art culture and create a deeper connection between diverse communities and artists.

Art Residencies

Provide a supportive environment for both emerging and established artists by offering dedicated space, resources, and exposure within Oregon City and its neighboring communities.
The residencies will blend local and international artists, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and innovation. Artists will contribute to the community through open studios, collaborative projects, and outreach activities.
The goal is to encourage artistic growth, creativity, and the sharing of global perspectives, thereby elevating the overall art culture within the region.

Professional Workshops for Artists

Offer workshops and training sessions in various disciplines, including painting, sculpture, digital art, and business skills like marketing and branding.
Facilitate mentorship opportunities by connecting local artists with international art professionals, encouraging cultural exchange and knowledge-sharing.
Provide an inclusive space for networking, skill-building, and career development, empowering local artists to enhance their craft and succeed in the global art scene.
