                                                              What is Robin's Art for the Arts?

                                                              Robin's Art for the Arts is IMADA's spring fundraiser. It is a fun-filled evening celebrating the depth of the artistic talent in our community - from students to Ipswich's outstanding community artists and artisans. Along with the sale of arts and crafts, the evening’s reception includes light appetizers, cash bar, as well as entertainment by jazz and classical student musicians! This event is free and open to the public.

We are bringing together your works of art - photographs, watercolors, oils, ceramics, textiles, etc. - and mixing them with our musicians, student artists, parents, and community members. The result is a fun and memorable evening supporting and celebrating the arts in our schools.

                                                              IMADA remembers Robin Silverman, community visionary and artist in her own right, whose idea for Art for the Arts enabled us to create a unique collaboration with community artists to support arts education. Donations in Robin’s memory enabled us to establish the Robin Silverman College Scholarship Fund and purchase state-of-the-art projection equipment for the three art rooms at the middle/high school complex.
