Private Giving

Since its foundation in 1991 IMMA has become an internationally renowned powerhouse of modern and contemporary art. This has been achieved through a collective effort;  IMMA staff, exhibiting artists, partner galleries, exhibition supporters and lenders have consistently delivered exhibitions of excellence.

Our work is core funded by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and has been further supported  through our own commercial endeavors and from a number of hugely valued and committed Corporate Partners, but there have also been extraordinary acts of generosity from private individuals who have given financial support, many of whom wish to remain anonymous.

All art is a form of gift; it offers ideas and imagination that enlarge our understanding of ourselves and of the world, bringing us together. By giving to IMMA so that others can also enjoy the arts and culture, we become more than private individuals: we help to create a national legacy, carrying on the work of those who brought the cultural institutions of Ireland into being, and who created the collections and curatorial teams that give them life. By giving to the arts and culture, the private person becomes a public citizen, helping to enhance the quality of life for all.
