Support the ICA
Founded in 1947 by a group of artists, poets and radicals, the Institute of Contemporary Arts is the UK’s leading not-for-profit, multi-disciplinary arts centre. We create space for new experimental and independent arts practice and ideas.
The ICA was designed as a playground for ideas and has worked with a litany of inspired artists and writers, including T.S. Eliot, Cartier-Bresson, Francis Bacon, Jacques Derrida, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, Yoko Ono and Slavoj Žižek.
The ICA is renowned for having presented the first ever institutional solo-show by Damien Hirst, as well as seminal exhibitions by Jake & Dinos Chapman, Luc Tuymans, and Tino Sehgal. It was one of the first venues to present The Clash and The Stone Roses, as well as bands such as Pink Floyd and Throbbing Gristle. Moreover, the ICA maintains a longstanding commitment to theatre, performance, independent cinema and artists’ film.
The ICA is a registered charity and we are grateful for donations and contributions from individuals, trusts, corporate and public sector. All levels of support are essential in encouraging emerging art and artists to experiment and extend in their practice and enables us to continue this work for future generations of artists and audiences to come.
