Teacher Materials

For information on exhibitions go to current exhibitions. ICA offers teacher workshops throughout the year on topics related to current exhibitions.

FREE Saturday Tours
Free tours of current exhibitions are offered the first Saturday of every month. Groups are welcome with two weeks advance notice.

Whenever Wednesdays
Whenever you're looking for something fabulous to do on a Wednesday night, check out ICA's calendar. An artist could be speaking. A band might be playing. A poet might be reading. It could all be happening at once. Whatever. The format of these special programs aims to be as responsive as everything else that happens at ICA, which is open until 8pm every Wednesday.

Lectures on Contemporary Art
In conjunction with the History of Art and Fine Arts Departments, ICA offers lectures and tours by University of Pennsylvania graduate students. See ICA's calendar for details.
