Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF) is an American contemporary art museum that opened in October 2022, and was initially located in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, California.[1][2] By October 2024, it moved to the Financial District of San Francisco.[3][4] Admission is free.[5]

## About

[edit]

The Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco is a non-collecting institution with a 11,000-square-foot gallery space that opened in October 2022 at 901 Minnesota Street, funded through Silicon Valley–based donors.[5][6][7] Donors of the opening of ICA SF included Deborah and Andy Rappaport, Pamela and David Hornik, and Kaitlyn and Mike Krieger.[8][9][10] The space was designed after the European kunsthalle, specializing in displaying temporary, boundary-pushing art.[11] Ali Gass is the founding director.[12][13]

In 2024, ICA SF announced plans to relocated from its original Dogpatch neighborhood to a larger five-story modernist building known locally as “the Cube” at 345 Montgomery Street in the city’s Financial District, expanding exhibition space from 11,000 square feet to 26,000 square feet.[14][15]

## Exhibitions

[edit]

The opening programming was a solo exhibition by Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson's, "This Burning World"; and a group exhibition curated by Tahirah Rasheed and Autumn Breon, of work by Oakland-based artists Liz Hernández and Ryan Whelan.[16][17][18]
