ICI's 50th Anniversary Gala

Oct 6, 2025

New York, NY, USA
Cipriani, 25 Broadway, New York, NY 10004

Celebrate 50 Years of Curatorial Impact

ICI turns 50 this year! Join curators, artists, collectors, supporters, and cultural leaders for cocktails and dinner at the iconic Cipriani Broadway as we celebrate five decades of empowering curators, connecting global art communities, and expanding access to contemporary art. We'll raise a glass to ICI's legacy and pay tribute to our visionary honorees who have championed curators, innovation, and community throughout the arts.

ICI is proud to recognize our extraordinary honorees, who each embody and enact three core pillars of our vision for the future:

Mariane Ibrahim
Empowering Curators

Julie Mehretu
Paul Pfeiffer

Promoting Innovation

Helen and Peter Warwick
Championing Curators’ Impact on Communities

Support ICI’s mission and help shape the next 50 years of curatorial impact. All proceeds from the gala support ICI's traveling exhibitions and learning initiatives, and further our ongoing impact on the global curatorial field.
