Founded in 1946 by a group of artists, poets and radicals, the ICA is the UK's leading not-for-profit, multi-disciplinary arts centre. We create space for new experimental and independent arts practice and ideas. Designed as a playground for ideas, we have worked with a litany of inspired artists and writers, including T.S. Eliot, Cartier-Bresson, Francis Bacon, Jacques Derrida, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, Yoko Ono and Slavoj Žižek. We are uniquely positioned on The Mall in central London in a Regency period building designed by John Nash. Since moving to our present location in 1968, the ICA has become the home of the British avant-garde and continues to foreground interdisciplinary art practice.
