WORKSHOPS
IMMA offers a range of once-off and ongoing workshops to provide people with an opportunity to create work in response to their experiences visiting the gallery spaces and meeting artists. Workshops are led by professional artists and members of the Museum's
Mediators (gallery-based staff). Workshops take place in Studios 8, 9 and 10, and also in the galleries.
STUDIO10/GALLERY SESSIONS FOR ADULTS
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.
