Miami museum movin’ on up
The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, will
open in its new, permanent home in the city’s
Design District this December. The building, with
its minimalist design and geometrical façades,
reflects the city’s iconic architecture. The new
location will have more than 20,000-square-feet
to house exhibition galleries, and it includes a
15,000-square-foot sculpture garden.
The ICA Miami, launched in 2014 and currently
operating in the landmark Moore Building, works
to promote the continuance of experimentation
in contemporary art in the Miami area and inter-
nationally. The museum keeps up its objective by
offering free, year-round admission.
On view from Dec. 1 through Feb. 26, 2018, will
be “The Everywhere Studio,” a group exhibition
examining the cultural breakthroughs and the
evolution of the artist’s studio. The exhibit will include about
100 works in painting, sculpture, video and installation from
more than 50 artists who’ve made a name for themselves over
the past five decades. The pieces, organized chronologically, will
explore the artists’ changing relationships with their studios.
The ICA Miami offers programming through ICA Speaks,
which promotes the exchange of art and ideas; ICA Performs,
which encourages leading artists to present at the museum to
nurture developing performers; and ICA Residents, an initia-
tive that focuses on strengthening the museum’s engagement
through short-term commissions, projects and events.
The museum also promotes education through The Art +
Research Center, Family Day, community engagement and the
Young Artists Initiative.
