The Islington Mill Art Academy is an independent artist education project set up by a group of young artists as a series of Summer schools in May 2007. The project now runs three days per week at Islington Mill in Salford, UK. The group comprises of 13 artists in training. We organise talks, research trips, study blocks and a residency program working with local, national and international artists. We are collectively responsible for the structuring, funding and managing of our education and development.
