Transform Communities by Supporting ICI’s Visionary Curators

Curators inspire us through art and ideas that have the power to guide us through even the most uncertain times. They champion artistic practice, build essential infrastructures, and engage the public with art.

This year, instead of an Annual Benefit, ICI will maximize the impact of our community's generosity by directing donations straight to our programming. In lieu of a ticket to the Benefit, please consider giving directly toward our Learning Initiatives and Traveling Exhibitions funds.

Help us reach our $300,000 goal for this fund by October 1, 2024, and support our incredible network of visionary curators who are consistently building stronger communities.

ICI's Learning Initiatives empower curators to realize their professional goals and create communities grounded in mentorship and connection. Programs like our Curatorial Forum and Curatorial Intensives support leaders at all stages of their careers, giving them the tools and global connections they need to best serve their communities.

Give to Learning Initiatives

ICI produces traveling exhibitions like no other arts organization in the world. We enable visionary curators like Barbara London and Fitsum Shebeshe to bring their innovative exhibitions to life, champion experimental practices, and offer curators a unique sense of belonging that they can't find anywhere else.

Give to Traveling Exhibitions

ICI’s Board of Trustees will generously match donations of up to $100,000 for contributions made to our Exhibitions and Learning Initiatives funds by October 1, 2024.
