    Opening of Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami

    The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) opens the doors to its new permanent home in the Miami Design District on December 1, 2017, with a bold inaugural program that reflects the museum’s commitment to championing new narratives in contemporary art and to providing a platform for the exchange of art and ideas. With more than double the exhibition space, ICA Miami presents its first thematic survey and most ambitious exhibition to date, bringing together the work of contemporary innovators with that of modern masters. The new building also enables the museum to expand its commitment to mounting monographic presentations that offer new insight on under-recognized artists and deepen scholarship in the field; and to commissioning boundary-pushing works of art through the debut of six new large-scale works, on view throughout the museum and its sculpture garden.
