The Institute of Art and Ideas was founded in 2008 and is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to new thinking and promoting all forms of creative expression.

Our first Festival was held in November 2008, and we have since gone on to produce two annual arts Festivals each year as well as sustaining a thriving IAI Online community.

With dedicated programming, education and development teams the IAI is continuing to push boundaries and remains at the forefront of UK contemporary culture.
