Welcome!
At Inventors, Makers and Movers (IMM), our mission is "Bridging Generations through Art, Innovation, and Inspiration." Hence, we are guided by powerful fundamentals that serve as the bedrock of our nonprofit: originality, inclusivity, diversity, and authenticity. These principles find their roots in the invaluable contributions of African American inventors and innovators, whose groundbreaking work has shaped the course of world history.
INNOVATION
As a dynamic art & innovation platform, IMM will orchestrate, curate, and foster collaborations among artists, product developers, entrepreneurs, and corporate partners. Central to our approach is a formula that recognizes invention and innovation as the cornerstones of how we conceive and execute our exhibitions, displays, and events.
​
MATERIALS
A core commitment of IMM is the identification of materials, produced and cultivated by early African Americans, and integral to their American experience. From cotton and tobacco to sugar, coffee, tea, and a myriad of other crops, these elements define a crucial chapter in our collective history. Once identified, our curatorial process springs into action.
We stand devoted to empowering artists by curating projects and inviting individuals with a versatile mastery of materials. In this pivotal stage, artists are entrusted with the task of interpreting and reimagining history. Through designated private and public sponsorships, artists receive not only local but also international exposure, with their expenses covered.
METHOD (OUR MISSION)
IMM recognizes the pivotal role that businesses play in the arts. We view them not merely as
supporters, but as integral participants in our exhibitions. Businesses are invited to showcase
their products and services alongside artworks, offering a unique opportunity to engage with our
audience directly. We hold that the spirit of collaboration is the linchpin of all IMM endeavors.
Ultimately, the heart of our mission lies in the enrichment of the public and local communities.
Our aim is to empower, educate, and inspire. We invite the public to be active participants - as
spectators, viewers, and consumers - in our immersive experiences, forging connections that
transcend the boundaries of time and culture. Through these efforts, we aspire to foster a
deeper understanding of our shared history and the enduring legacy of innovation.
