Institute for Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

Pasadena Art Alliance

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA-LA) is a non-collecting museum considered an epicenter of artistic experimentation and incubator of new ideas. Founded in 1984, the current ICA-LA builds upon a distinguished history of exhibitions, education, and public programs.

PAA will provide support for the exhibition Barbara T. Smith, the first major museum survey of the foundational Los Angeles performance artist. On view from September 2023 to January 2024, this historical survey will offer a focused view and contemporary interpretation of Smith’s singular contributions to art over the past five decades.
