Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA)
About
The ICA, or Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, is the Seaport’s museum of contemporary art, housed in an iconic building on Boston’s waterfront. It describes itself as Boston’s destination for new art and experiences and an influential forum for the multidisciplinary arts. Its exhibitions and programs give visitors access to contemporary art, to artists and to the creative process itself, inviting audiences of all ages and backgrounds to engage with new art and ideas.
The museum has been at the leading edge of art in Boston for decades and is now marking its 90th anniversary, inviting visitors to share favorite ICA memories for the celebrations. Like its building, the ICA aims to offer new ways of engaging with the world. Recent exhibitions have featured Leilah Babirye, Cynthia Daignault and Caroline Monnet, and families are a particular focus, with free family art days called Play Dates.
