The Board of Directors of ICA LA appoints Anne Ellegood as the museum’s next executive director to usher in a new chapter in the museum’s 35-year history. “I am absolutely thrilled to be appointed the next executive director of ICA LA. I have been a frequent visitor and avid admirer of the museum’s program for many years. ICA LA has consistently distinguished itself for its groundbreaking and distinctive exhibitions, sometimes giving artists their first museum shows, as well as thoughtful and innovative public programs and education initiatives. I have a genuine affinity with ICA LA’s mission, which emphasizes the pleasure of art while embracing a belief in the capacity for art and artists to make vital contributions to the struggle for social equity and systemic change, and I look forward to furthering this mission and imagining with the museum’s committed board and staff @theicala’s next chapter” - @anneellegood.
