INSTITUTE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO MOVING TO NEW LOCATION

For nearly 65 years, the Institute of Contemporary Art has been introducing to Boston and the country some of the most important contemporary artists of our time, from Pablo Picasso and Robert Rauschenberg to Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman.

This excellence in presenting contemporary art began with the ICA's inception in 1936. The ICA's first director, James Sachs Plaut, envisioned this new institution as "an experimental laboratory in which we would present a platform for things that were happening on the contemporary art scene."

Today, the ICA continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary art with its excellent program of exhibitions by cutting-edge artists and Vita Brevis projects that bring art into public spaces. Vita Brevis commissions artists from around the world to create temporary works of art in response to Boston's rich landscape and history.
