A Letter from IAM's Executive Director
Click here to support the movement.
Stories like this one about a businessman in the Midwest who was inspired by IAM to rehumanize the healthcare program at his company, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars and leading to happier, healthier employees. Another story came from a young singer/songwriter on the verge of giving up music. Through IAM, she found new inspiration and motivation to continue her craft. Lastly, a Texas couple who love arts and culture, but are not vocationally artists, were unsure how to articulate their role in culture. Our term creative catalyst gave them inspiration and permission to engage and invest in their community in a lasting way.
Click here to make a contribution.
With all IAM's generative and rehumanizing work - a successful and inspiring Encounter 10, a growing regional presence, the Readers Guild, The Curator, IAM Conversations, and more - it's easy to forget this is facilitated by a few bi-vocational staff, interns, and volunteers. Yet even with their talents and passion for IAM, the year has not been without some challenges.
Alongside all the creative and social capital found in abundance in IAM, we also need financial resources to accomplish the work to which we are called. With our fiscal year closing June 30, we need your support to raise $45,000. I can attest that through the ingenuity of artists and creative catalysts, IAM is a place where a $1 donation often yields $10 of impact, and every gift is carefully stewarded.
If you have been inspired, challenged, or encouraged by this movement, would you consider supporting IAM with a tax-deductible donation in the next 2 weeks to fill this gap, and help propel the movement into a new season of creating the world that ought to be?
Checks may be sent to International Arts Movement, 38 W. 39th Street, 3 FL, New York, NY 10018. If you prefer to donate with credit card, you can click here and give via the website.
Thank you for being involved with International Arts Movement. You are IAM.
Sincerely,
Bryan Horvath
Executive Director

The Museum Mile Festival| June 8| 6-9
" One day a year, for the past 31 years, nine of the country's finest museums, all on Fifth Avenue, collectively open their doors from 6pm - 9pm for free to New Yorkers and visitors for a mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music- and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street, the mile now officially designated as Museum Mile. Over 50,000 visitors attend the festival annually.
In celebration of their 40th anniversary, El Museo del Barrio will kick-off the Festival at 5:45pm on the steps of their museum at 104th street!
Plus, follow the mile with street muralist De La Vega – grab a piece of chalk and make your mark."
