The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University presents the art of our time and provides an open forum for dialogue and collaboration across the region and throughout the world.
Art is intended to prompt interaction and discussion, to evoke emotion and drive experiences. As a non-collecting institution, we will showcase an ever-changing slate of exhibitions, performances, films, and special programs that translate our world into every medium. Admission is free and open to all.
