ICA Baltimore
The ICA Baltimore is a collaborative, volunteer-run organization that identifies artists for solo show opportunities and presents their work in partnership with project-appropriate Baltimore City art spaces. Affording artists the chance to design and execute a solo show from start to finish, either to show a cohesive or an exploratory body of work, is an opportunity for the artist. But the ICA’s identification of artists to support in this way also serves as a slow survey of what excites us most in Baltimore. We aim to strengthen our city’s art scene, both by bringing talented local artists to a wider audience, and by introducing national and international artists to Baltimore’s highly receptive public. The ICA is dedicated to stripping down the process of working with an art organization, putting the artist first, giving them complete control over their exhibition, and demonstrating transparency, based on the belief that this model produces stronger projects and more engaging exhibitions.
