The Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA) is a member-driven non-profit national organization working to advance and strengthen the media arts community in Canada. Representing over 100 independent film, video, audio, and new media production, distribution, and exhibition organizations in all parts of the country, the IMAA serves over 21,000 independent media artists and cultural workers.

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE ANNUAL MEMBER SURVEY
We would like to thank all members who took the time to complete the 2025 annual member survey a few months ago. The data collected will be very helpful to the sector’s advocacy committee and the IMAA team in ensuring we better meet your needs. Since compiling and analyzing the results is a labor-intensive process, we have decided to conduct this survey again in 2027. In the meantime, we’re pleased to share a few findings that caught our attention!
