* ICI Trustee

Over the past two years, ICI has helped bring the curatorial community together to confront the challenges of our times and begin the process of cultural rebuilding. To celebrate our achievements and support our continued efforts, we’re bringing supporters, curators, and artists together for ICI’s Annual Fall Benefit and Auction on October 25, 2022. In recognition of our incredible networks that span time zones and geography, this year’s benefit brings the best of both worlds: We’ll gather in New York for an in-person cocktail reception and auction viewing, AND come to you with the continuation of our successful Benefit in a Box!

Available at various levels of giving in limited quantities, each Box will include commissioned multiples by artists who reflect the multiplicity of voices that make up ICI’s global network, plus not-to-be-missed surprises. All purchases also include an invitation to our in-person event. No matter where you are in the world, you can experience how ICI makes global connections, advances the impact of curators in their field, and builds stronger art communities, one box at a time.

With your support, ICI can:

  • Advance the impact of curators

We connect curators and artists to one another, and to ideas from around the world, and empower collective responses to address an isolation that is deeply felt among arts practitioners at all levels of their careers. Our online public programs have reached nearly 70 countries and brought the perspectives of curators and artists based in cities throughout the world.
 

  • Make global connections

Curators are vital arts community leaders who champion artistic practice, build essential infrastructures, and generate public engagement with art. ICI’s Curatorial Research Fellowships provide mentorship opportunities and help develop new knowledge, while seminars such as the Curatorial Forum and Assembly bring peers together to imagine new ways of working, researching, and producing.
 

  • Build stronger art communities

ICI builds platforms for arts communities that are adapted to diverse practices and voices. The traveling exhibitions we produce with our collaborators champion underrepresented artists and perspectives, and in 2022, we are incredibly proud that three new exhibitions are being developed by alumni of the Curatorial Intensive, further advancing their careers and reach.

Help us continue to serve curators and art communities by joining us this fall and pre-ordering your Box today!
