For fifty years, the IMA has surfed the waves of contemporary art, connecting the local, national, and international, the established and the emergent; and provided a hub for art life in Brisbane.

It’s time to take stock—to chart and celebrate our past achievements and imagine our future.

We’re hosting a series of Saturday celebrations from July into August, combining panel discussions and performances. The first two excavate our past; the third imagines our future. We’ve connected with formative figures from our inception, and invited the next generation of cultural custodians to lend their voices.

Over the decades, you have intersected with us at different points in our adventure. We have lost touch with many of you, and many of you have lost touch with us. We welcome everyone back to celebrate this milestone together.
