The Institute of Modern Art’s iconic annual gala returns with a special anniversary edition. Celebrate fifty years of Australia’s oldest contemporary art space.
Enjoy a bacchanalian feast in the IMA’s spirit of experimentalism. Treat yourself to a seated banquet, performances, and a live benefit auction of covetable contemporary art.
The theme: black tie with a surrealist twist. More extravagant, the better.
