ICA Gallery

Located: The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH

The Institute of Contemporary Arts was formed in 1948 and was designed to give British Artists the same facilities offered to artists at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The following year saw the opening of ICA Gallery. Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore and Damien Hirst have all had the honour of having their first exhibitions there. The ICA continues to have a reputation for pushing the boundaries of all genres.

“The ICA is home to the best new art and culture from Britain and around the world. A meeting point for exploration between artists and audiences, the ICA examines the questions that shape our culture, society and individual lives. We believe in creative adventure. In art as inspiration. Ultimately the ICA is not so much a place as a principle. A belief in the new. An enduring faith in the creativity of tomorrow.” Ekow Eshun, from the ICA Gallery website.
