IMMA has reopened with a new tented area, The People’s Pavilion, and social distancing circles where friends and families can meet. The outdoor programme will focus on art trails, the gardens and pop-up events, which will include collaborations with community groups and artist collectives from midJuly, as well as a new pop-up café, The Flying Dog.
