The Institute for Contemporary Art

An open forum on today’s issues through art

So, what is the ICA? It’s a place where every person can see art, take it in, talk about it and feel changed by it. Created by the world-renowned Steven Holl Architects, the structure itself is an important work of art – and within it, you’ll always see a fresh slate of new exhibitions, performances, films, and special programs, since the ICA doesn’t have permanent collections. The institute is part of VCUarts, the #1 public art school in the country. Head to the corner at the entry point to VCU, and you can’t miss it.
