Dear ICA LA Community,

It’s time to get out and vote! ICA LA is an official Vote Center and Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Box location, starting Saturday, November 5, and through Election Day Tuesday, November 8. Come to vote, and stay for the art! Our fall exhibitions and new bookshelf resident, Reparations Club, will remain on view throughout voting hours.

On Friday, November 18, we invite you to gather with Senior Curator Amanda Sroka and Director of Learning & Engagement Asuka Hisa for Art Buzz, which includes a walkthrough of Rebecca Morris: 2001-2022 and My Barbarian, followed by light refreshments and snacks.

And on Wednesday, November 30, join us for a talk with art historian and critic Dr. Suzanne Hudson who will reflect on Rebecca Morris’s work and its relationship to the history of abstraction.
