IMI Fest Creator's Studio
IMI Fest is a space where independent creators can turn their work into a real-world studio experience. Creator’s Studio invites makers, artists, inventors, and engineers to take over small spaces at the festival, showcasing the projects they’ve built and the ideas behind them. Installations blur the line between digital and physical, creating a living gallery of independent creativity and curiosity.
We are now accepting submissions from all independents. Whether you create stand-alone pieces, interactive experiments, or work that comes alive on camera — what matters is the vision. From the tangible to the intangible, your work deserves to be seen in real life. Apply now to bring your studio to IMI Fest.
Creator's Studio Application
Whether your work is tangible or digital, abstract or hands-on, we’re curating an experience that feels like stepping into a creator’s studio. Applications close October 15th. Have questions about the application? Email us - info@theimi.co
