The Institute of Modern Art (IMA) is Australia’s oldest contemporary art space and one of the Asia-Pacific’s most important forums for visual art. Funds raised at the IMA Gala enable us to continue shaping culture in Queensland through commissioning new, ambitious projects from Australian artists.
The IMA Benefit Auction is made possible thanks to the generous support of our auction artists and their gallerists who donate all or a portion of the sales price to the IMA.
The IMA is a registered charity and all donations over $2 are tax-deductible. More: ima.org.au/donate
