Our exhibitions access crucial developments in the field of contemporary art, and are now conceived to involve presenters and viewers more, and to be as affordable as possible. We promote more collaboration with host institutions, encourage them to modify exhibitions, and work with a range of contemporary art curators to create new flexible projects.

The Curator’s Perspective is an itinerant public discussion series based in traveling venues throughout New York, featuring an international curator who distills current happenings in contemporary art, including the artists they are excited by, exhibitions that have made them think, and their views on recent developments in the art world.

Through ICI on the Move, ICI is expanding its public programming reach nationally, bridging local and international art communities in concurrence with our traveling exhibitions and other national art events.

Let’s talk is an annual program series of topical discussions with today’s leading art professionals co-organized with the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA).

The Curatorial Intensive is a low-cost, short-term vocational training program that brings aspiring curators to New York to develop an exhibition proposal under the close guidance of ICI’s network. This program provides emerging talent the opportunity to connect with established professionals and forge networks to other aspiring curators.

ICI’s annual New York Studio Events series not only grants you intimate access to your favorite artists year round, but also helps ICI respond to the rapidly developing art world of today, ensuring that we connect you with momentous practitioners at the exact time they are presenting significant works.

DISPATCH is a new online journal that publishes curator’s points of view on current developments in art. Practitioners based in different cities around the world are invited to use DISPATCH as their virtual base for a month, building their research over time through text, image, and video. Taking advantage of the interactive platform, DISPATCH will also allow for comments and feedback from readers around the world.

Since 1990, ICI has commissioned artists to produce limited edition works to raise funds for its innovative programs and publications. Currently available limited editions include works by John Baldessari, Joseph Kosuth, Dana Schutz, Laurie Simmons and Alec Soth.

ICI is dedicated to producing high-quality and affordable publications to accompany its traveling exhibitions. Visit our store to browse ICI’s roster of over 70 publications.

In addition to gaining insider access to contemporary art, ICI members directly contribute to the production of our traveling exhibitions and training opportunities. In the past, members’ involvement has allowed artists and curators to explore new ideas and to present compelling contemporary art to diverse audiences. Today, joining ICI means helping us stay dynamic for the next 35 years!

Recognizing its historic character as a hub for innovative people and their ideas, ICI has developed The Curator’s Network to bring together curators who want to share their work and exchange ideas with other professionals in the field.
