Institute of Contemporary Arts

Corporate Membership

Corporate Membership brings together innovative businesses and cultural entrepreneurs. As stated by the Arts & Business Council UK, a strong, vital arts community is essential to a healthy business climate and the ICA is looking to corporations for participation in mutually beneficial partnerships.

By focusing its attention on supporting contemporary art and ideas, the ICA provides an arena that fosters the integration of creativity and business in the United Kingdom. The generosity of private and public sector support allows the ICA to continue its groundbreaking exhibitions and performances which develop the ICA's extensive idea sharing network; Corporate Membership is an example of this valued support.

Employees belong to the centre of cultural innovation in the United Kingdom:

• Interaction with the best contemporary art and ideas, therefore bringing innovation and creativity back to the workplace;
• Exclusive invitations to private views and members nights at the ICA;
• Member discount at ICA bookstore (10%), free entry into the renowned ICA Bar, and event ticket discounts*

Corporate Members are active supporters of the field of contemporary art and ideas:

• Alignment with the ICA brand, which sets the standard for innovation and creative entrepreneurialism;
• Corporate Member logo printed on the reverse side of all employee membership cards;
• Right to hire out rooms at the ICA for parties, client events, private invites to ICA premieres, viewings, and talks.
