IMMA invites you to help us make our seasonal Christmas tree in the courtyard extra special this year. Taking inspiration from the ancient Irish custom of the Rag Tree, The People’s Tree merges festive glamour with folklore. Get creative this Christmas by writing or embroidering your wish on a ribbon or a rag. Make one for relatives (young and old), friends, family abroad or even encourage them to make their own. Check out our special Explorer at Home: Ribbons & Rags project here. Send them to us and IMMA staff will tie them to a dedicated section on our enormous 35ft tree.

Let’s share our wishes, hopes, memories and thoughts in IMMA’s iconic public space to create a symbolic collective gesture at this exceptional time in our lives.
