In December 2023, IMMA is thrilled to host the most important platform for visual art graduates in Ireland, the RDS Visual Art Awards. The programme consists of a curated exhibition opportunity and a prize fund of €30,000.
The RDS Visual Art Awards offers the most comprehensive assessments of graduate work in Ireland undertaken on a thirty-two-county basis. The competitive process is transparent, highly regarded and harnesses the expertise of some of the best visual arts professionals working in Ireland. Inclusion in the exhibition has a proven positive impact on the accelerated career progression of young artists.
The RDS Visual Art Awards is a flagship RDS Foundation project and is part of the wider RDS Arts Programme which provides a platform to support the transition from student to emerging artist encouraging the pursuit of a career in visual art, craft and classical music.
