The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) is an independent charity based in London, founded in 1946 by a collective of artists, poets and supporters. It functions as a cultural venue that presents exhibitions, performances and keynote lectures to stimulate debate in contemporary culture. Historically influential, the ICA helped shape movements such as Pop art and punk and has hosted landmark early shows by leading artists, as well as significant performances and screenings across art, music and film. Its cinema program continues to showcase independent film and support pioneering filmmakers. Located on The Mall in the heart of the UK’s cultural establishment, the ICA aims to foster cross‑disciplinary production where different art forms engage with one another and with current societal questions. In 2024 it expanded its programming by launching a live music programme, adding live performances to its offerings alongside exhibitions, talks and film.
