🏛️ ICA LA

Founded in 1988 as the Santa Monica Museum of Art and reestablished in 2017 with a new identity and home in the Arts District, ICA LA’s 12,700 square-foot renovated industrial building was designed by wHY Architecture under the leadership of Kulapat Yantrasast and features ample space for exhibitions, public programs, retail pop-ups, integrated offices, and special projects.

ICA LA’s mission is to support art that sparks the pleasure of discovery and challenges the way we see and experience the world, ourselves, and each other. ICA LA is committed to upending hierarchies of race, class, gender, and culture. Through exhibitions, education programs, and community partnerships, ICA LA fosters critique of the familiar and empathy with the different.
