A 600,000 fund to allow the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) acquire works by artists in Ireland has been announced today. It will allow IMMA support artists during Covid-19 by buying artworks and also expand the National Collection of contemporary art. IMMA will pay particular focus to artworks that reflect our position as radically inclusive and globally connected and art that can activate impactful conversations about contemporary society. The fund is supported by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin T.D. It is part of a €1m fund that the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media has given to IMMA and Crawford Art Gallery to support the arts community nationally in these challenging times.
