Founders
From childhood friends to artistic confidants, AIM's founders grew up together in an environment which discouraged creativity. As they walked the paths they were told to follow, they realized that practically is often misery in disguise. "So, we opted for a new path, a unique path, one which was ours to discover," Abby Shore (C.O.O.) notes. The group decided to take matters into their own hands, creating AIM to encourage up-in-coming artistry’ while upholding a pledge for a better tomorrow.
Gilad Maianski
Chief Communications Officer
Growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Gilad often felt detached from the creative arts scene, both due to a lack of fine art ability & a lack of exposure. Now in Montreal & entering his final year at McGill University, in which he’s receiving a BA degree in Psychology, Gilad has seen the power of creativity be unleashed & hopes to promote that creativity as a means of enacting change.
