Community Partnerships

The ICA values collaborating with mission-aligned partners to host public programs, incubate creative opportunities, and amplify existing community-centered activities. As such, approved community partnerships come with reduced space-use fees and logistical support. In instances where a proposed event/program clearly aligns with the ICA’s current exhibitions or initiatives, it may be considered for co-sponsorship with the ICA, which includes additional logistical and marketing support. Co-sponsorships are offered at the sole discretion of the ICA.


Applications for community partnerships are open:

August 1 – October 31 ( for programs to take place the following spring)
March 1 – June 30 ( for programs to take place in fall of that year)

The application portal will be closed between November 1 – February 29, and for the month of July of each year.
