Public programs at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles support our mission in sparking the pleasure the discovery and challenging the way we see and experience the world, ourselves, and each other. We are dedicated to the exploration, scholarship, appreciation, and deeper understanding of the exhibitions and ideas on view at the ICA LA, and providing greater access to artists living and working in our community.

Our public programs introduce new ways of seeing an exhibition and support through contemporary art and take diverse forms—talks, workshops, screenings, and live performances—and are free and open to all.

You can also watch and listen to past lectures, discussions, and performances in the archive of public programs below.
