Special Events

The IMA hosts ongoing and one-time special events throughout the museum. Check back often for a listing of upcoming special events.

On Thursday and Friday, enjoy extended hours in the IMA's Nourish Cafe. Offering draft beers, wine, and specialty drinks, enjoy a cocktail while selecting from a lighter fare menu that focuses on local ingredients.

If you enjoy the Chef's offerings, come back for Chef's Taste and Chef's Table, two monthly events featuring seasonal selections by the chef.
