About Living Canvas at IMMA
For a modern twist on Kilmainham galleries, Living Canvas at IMMA transforms the Royal Hospital's front lawn into Europe's largest digital art screen, courtesy of a partnership with IPUT Real Estate. This outdoor gallery beams moving image works and films by Irish and international artists across two years of programming. Imagine crisp evenings where projections dance with twilight, telling tales of migration, nature, and abstraction against the historic façade. Sensory overload: vibrant colours flood the grass, soundscapes fill the air, drawing picnickers and passersby. A free, innovative addition to IMMA's offerings and one of the best open-air galleries in Kilmainham Dublin.
What to Expect
Year-round screenings from dusk, themed programmes like spring/summer launches, family-friendly animations. Sit on the lawn with a blanket; fully accessible.
