📝 Useful Information
The FLIMP Festival is an annual, family-friendly arts celebration held at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) in Montgomery, Alabama. The event is a celebration of imagination and creativity, featuring hands-on art activities, live music, and outdoor games.
The name "Flimp" is a portmanteau of "flower imp," inspired by artist Geneva Mercer’s Flimp Fountain (1937), a whimsical bronze sculpture in the museum's permanent collection. The festival was started in 1989 to bring the community and arts together in a fun, whimsical way.
