Curator’s Council
ICA LA’s Curator’s Council is dedicated to exploring art, culture, and food in downtown Los Angeles and beyond. Through guided excursions led by ICA LA Curator Jamillah James and visits to artists’ studios, galleries, museums, and non-traditional art spaces, members enjoy a community of shared learning and fun experiences. Collectively, the group serves as the lead sponsor of ICA LA’s Project Room and Courtyard exhibitions, which focus on the emerging and under-recognized voices of our time.

Fieldwork
Led by ICA LA Director of Learning and Engagement Asuka Hisa, the group comes together regularly for guided excursions, hands-on workshops, and behind-the-scenes research at the museum and across the city. Members venture out into the field to engage with ICA LA’s growing network of cross-disciplinary partners—artists, musicians, chefs, educators, and technology developers, among others. Fieldwork serves as a major sponsor of ICA LA’s education initiatives and public programs.
