2025 IA Collaboratories: Submit Your Proposal
Call for Proposals Imagining America (IA): Artists and Scholars in Public Life invites IA members to submit proposals to form new Collaboratories starting…
The Imagining America consortium (IA) brings together scholars, artists, designers, humanists, and organizers to imagine, study, and enact a more just and liberatory ‘America’ and world. Working across institutional, disciplinary, and community divides, IA strengthens and promotes public scholarship, cultural organizing, and campus change that inspires collective imagination, knowledge-making, and civic action on pressing public issues.
By dreaming and building together in public, IA creates the conditions to shift culture and transform inequitable institutional and societal structures.

IA Unveils 2023-24 Mail Art Project Gallery
The 2023-24 Mail Art Project was inspired by the 2023 IA National Gathering theme: Radical Reckoning: Invoking the Elements for Collective Change. The project was open to all IA members – faculty, staff, and students. Participation was free, and participants were mailed a small kit with instructions, a prompt, and a few art supplies and materials to get started.
