Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

Founded in 1984 as the Santa Monica Museum of Art (SMMoA), the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) is one of a few Kunsthalles (non-collecting museums) in the United States.

The ICA LA's revelatory exhibitions of works by international artists, dynamic public programs, and inclusive community partnerships reflect the diversity of Los Angeles and the world, fostering critique of the familiar and empathy with the different. The museum builds upon SMMoA's distinguished history of fostering artistic experimentation with bold curatorial choices, and connecting with various communities via timely, meaningful, and engaging public programs. ICA LA is committed to making contemporary art relevant and accessible for all. Admission is free.
