IMMA Summer Rising Festival Coming This July

This summer, the IMMA invites everyone to come and join their new festival, SUMMER RISING, to celebrate art, music, food and performance.

The programme, which runs from Friday 18th July to Saturday 26th July, is jam packed with events to suit all ages and takes place in IMMA’s beautiful gardens and historic North Wing as a celebration of the much anticipated exhibition Propositions by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica.

Highlights of the festival include a very special edition of the THISISPOPBABY performance, art and club extravaganza WERK; GRACELANDS, artist and chef curated food events, including lunch time and evening banquets, family workshops, chefs and special guests Up & Over It alternative Irish dance group, a pop-up outdoor cinema and the grand finale IMMA’s Summer Party, on Saturday 26th July, which will encourage the audience to explore the site, while eating specially curated food and cocktails.

Hélio Oiticica proposed with his work ways “of giving the individual the possibility to ‘experiment’ to no longer to be spectator and become the participant” and it is in this spirit that IMMA invites us to be a part of the festival – to taste, listen, look, and most of all to enjoy.

All day time activities are free and tickets start from €15 for food and night time events. Full programme and tickets will be available soon on the IMMA website.
