COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
The ICA works with mission-aligned partners to host public programs, incubate creative opportunities, and amplify existing community-centered activities.
If you are interested in partnering with us, please fill out the Community Partnership Application, and tell us what you envision. Application deadlines are: April 1 for Fall (August-December) and October 1 for Spring (January-July).
Benefits of Community Partnerships include reduced space-use fees and logistical support, among other considerations.
Please note: some activities aren’t eligible for Community Partnerships. We are unable to accommodate, for example: private space rentals, fundraisers, art auctions, art exhibitions (including pop-ups), political/campaign events, and stand-alone marketing efforts.
The ICA is dedicated to fair compensation for creative labor. We ask that our community partners follow W.A.G.E guidelines. Priority for partnerships is given to non-profit organizations.
