The Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF) opened in 2024 as a free, non-collecting contemporary art museum dedicated to experimenting in public, operating transparently, and embracing constant reinvention in the realm of contemporary art.
Learning from the process of the year of starting up, the ICA SF will be a museum that’s continuously “under construction,” retaining the requisite nimbleness that comes from that condition. Through exhibitions, programming, and social opportunities, the ICA SF seeks to broaden the possibilities for civic and creative engagement within the region's vibrant ecosystem and to enable artists to push boundaries, experiment with new ideas, and take risks.
