Since its establishment in 1975, the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) has been a leading venue for the production, presentation and circulation of contemporary art in Queensland. As one of the country’s first institutions of its kind, the IMA has played an integral role in developing contemporary art locally, nationally, and internationally.
The IMA has museum-grade, climate-controlled gallery spaces in which we present an ambitious program of exhibitions, concentrating on commissioning new works by Australian and international artists at pivotal points in their practices. The IMA has a longstanding commitment to research and a rich history of publishing critical readers, exhibition catalogues, and artist monographs. We also provide an extensive program of events, targeted educational initiatives, and development opportunities for arts professionals. Please explore our exhibitions archive and browse our publications.
The IMA is principally supported by Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Queensland, and is a member of Contemporary Art Organisations Australia (CAOs).
The IMA’s exhibition program is fully curated, we are not able to accept unsolicited proposals.
