The IPMA is now four years old. The tireless work of our volunteers has helped the organization to truly follow its mission of supporting esoteric and independent musicians. The increase in artist and associate members has allowed us to grow and further support our artists.

Each year since its inception we have honored the industry and the will of our membership. This organization is totally member-driven and your support is appreciated.
