Island Media Arts Cooperative
The Island Media Arts is a non-profit media organization that began with the Island which was incorporated in 1978 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The Island Media Arts evolved in 1982 when the co-op became oriented toward film production. Since then IMAC has operated as a non-profit filmmaker's organization. Though the emphasis on film has changed over time to branch into a wider array of media arts disciplines, the objectives have remained the same; to provide a space where artists can hone their skills and exchange ideas.

The formation of IMAC came about because of the need on Prince Edward Island for accessible film production facilities, the development of creative and technical skill pools, and the availability of information integral to the art and its industry.
From the beginning the role of IMAC has been that of a developmental production organization. This fully pledged commitment has made much out of the few resources available and sees the need for its continuation far into the future.
