On Saturday, June 1, ICA LA hosted its third annual Benefit Brunch. For this year’s celebration, the museum honored Betye Saar, with a special tribute delivered by CCH Pounder.

Each year, ICA LA’s Benefit Brunch recognizes artists and thinkers who have made significant contributions to the art canon and whose work challenges the way we see and experience the world. Previous honorees include Carrie Mae Weems and Henry Taylor. Proceeds from the Brunch provide essential support for ICA LA’s free exhibitions, education programs, and community outreach.
