“In this complicated city that’s renowned for both its liberal ideals and its profound income disparity, ICA SF seems like exactly the right place to happen at the exact right time.” college.columbia.edu/cct/issue/fall…

The ICA SF officially opens in 2 weeks!!! The ICA SF is a brand new, free, non-collecting contemporary art museum dedicated to experimenting in public, operating transparently, and embracing constant reinvention in the realm of contemporary art.

The wait is almost over!!! The ICA SF opens THIS SATURDAY, October 1st. Join us from 11am – 5pm for family activities, performances from MX Oops and to view the inaugural exhibition: THIS BURNING WORLD, by Jeffrey Gibson.

“Mr. Gibson, who is Choctaw & Cherokee, said the solo show pushed him beyond the beaded punching bags that have become his signature. “It’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever done, When I’d ask if I could try something, Ali just kept saying yes.” wsj.com/amp/articles/i…

We are in fantastic company! “It’s an innovative new gallery space that will be completely free to all, working to uplift artists & individuals while promoting equity & representation.” secretsanfrancisco.com/sf-news-you-mi…

Plan your visit! Join ICA SF’s curatorial team for a tour of Jeffrey Gibson’s THIS BURNING WORLD on the first Thursdays of the month. These events are free and open to the public. RSVP: icasf.org/visit

We’re still feeling the excitement and energy from our opening weekend, and we hope you are too! Check out what the press has to say about our current exhibition with artist Jeffrey Gibson icasf.org/about/press

“We’re following the artists and the voices that feel relevant to the moment. We want to support artists who are ready to step outside of the narrative of their own practice—It feels like the place to do something really experimental.” news.artnet.com/art-world/ica-…
