Independent Music Collaborative of Central Minnesota
Our Vision
The vision of the Independent Music Collaborative of Central Minnesota (IMCCM) is to advocate for Central Minnesota musicians and diverse audiences by providing both conventional and unconventional spaces to create, perform, and experience original music.
Access to original music in the community is influenced by many factors, including socioeconomic status, age, gender, and race. IMCCM is committed to promoting fair treatment and compensation for musicians while also providing opportunities to educate and engage the diverse audiences within our community.
Project 37
Project 37 is a branch of the non-profit Independent Music Collaborative of Central Minnesota (IMCCM), dedicated to providing safe, sober, all-ages spaces for people to enjoy, perform, and connect over original music.
Since 2022, Project 37 has organized dozens of concerts, from punk nights to singer/songwriter showcases, giving local bands and emerging artists a chance to perform in welcoming venues.
Their long-term goals include establishing a permanent downtown St. Cloud venue, offering music classes, production workshops, community events, and continuing to support musicians and audiences who value creativity, inclusivity, and sober social spaces.
