Studio10/Gallery Sessions will be recommencing autumn 2010. These sessions, which are for adults of all levels of creative experience, combine facilitated exhibition tours, discussions, art-making and more, and are an excellent springboard for engaging with modern and contemporary art. The sessions, facilitated by IMMA Mediators, are exploratory in nature, focusing primarily on the art work in 
IMMA’s gallery spaces. The art-making element of the sessions is experimental and is a means of investigating the ideas and artistic processes encountered in the galleries.
Studio10/Gallery Sessions in autumn 2010 will be scheduled in blocks of sessions which will take place on consecutive Fridays, 10.00am to 1.00pm, based in Studio 10. Blocks of sessions will be free but booking is essential. Dates of for blocks sessions are to be confirmed and will be up dated on this webpage by late August.
