EVENTS

The IMA 5 year anniversary party was a great success! The IMA baton was literally passed from founders Laurel True and Julia Whelan to new owner Denise Bavier. There was music, dancing, and a lovely mosaiced red velvet cake. The building was full of students, instructors and visiting artists from over the years. Thanks again to all who attended!
