Library
We are here to build community, both in-person and online.
The ICA Library provides a digital space where artists, writers, scholars and creative thinkers alike can share their artistic interests and highlights through readings, video and audio documentations. Through shared experiences and knowledge, this platform serves as a growing resource for those immersed or interested in expanding their understanding of the contemporary art world. We hope you can join us we build this extensive collection together!
