Taking place in IMMA’s beautiful gardens and historic North Wing from July 18 - 26, Summer Rising promises to be a joyous celebration of art, music, food, and performance with day-long family events and a programme of night-time events you will not want to miss.
In celebration of the much anticipated exhibition Propositions by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, who proposed with his work ways ‘of giving the individual the possibility to ‘experiment’ to no longer be the spectator and become the participant', IMMA adopts this spirit and invites you to be part of the Summer Rising - to taste, to listen, to look , to enjoy and most of all to take part.
Highlights include a very special edition of THISISPOPBABY's performance, art and club extravaganza Werk; Gracelands annual screening, sculpture and performance event curated by Vaari Claffey, artist and chef curated food events presented by Michelle Darmody and Fiona Hallinan including lunch-time and evening banquets; family workshops with artists, chefs and special guests Up & Over It alternative Irish dance group; Happenings pop-up outdoor cinema, Hare Café and Cake Café on the lawn; live music in the gardens including The BQ Trio, The Line Up, Seán MacErlaine and Roland Gomez; open studios; gallery and garden talks; and the grand finale IMMA’s Summer Party featuring Gang Colours, Donal Dineen and David Kitt (DJ set) with more live acts to be announced.
All day-time events are free.
