ICA LA (Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles) is a leading artistic institution and a hub for experimental art and new ideas. Originally founded in 1988 as the Santa Monica Museum of Art, ICA LA was reestablished in 2017 with a fresh identity and a new home in Downtown Los Angeles. The museum showcases untold stories and emerging voices in contemporary art and culture through bold curatorial vision and innovative programming.

Located in a renovated 12,700 square-foot industrial building designed by wHY Architecture, ICA LA offers ample space for exhibitions, public programs, retail pop-ups, integrated offices, and special projects. Their mission is to support art that sparks discovery and challenges our perception of the world, ourselves, and each other. ICA LA is dedicated to breaking down barriers of race, class, gender, and culture, making contemporary art accessible for all.

The museum offers free admission and engages with the community through exhibitions, education programs, and partnerships. With a commitment to fostering critique and empathy, ICA LA invites visitors to experience contemporary art in new and meaningful ways
