Beginning July 1, 2008, ICA will be free to the public for the first time in its history!
This initiative is made possible by a generous gift from Glenn R. Fuhrman. ICA Overseer and contemporary art collector, Mr. Fuhrman is an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School (undergraduate 1987; graduate degree 1988).
The Fuhrman gift will underwrite admissions at the ICA for the next five years allowing access to all exhibitions. ICA plans to celebrate this new initiative with a community-wide event Thursday, September 4, 2008. This event, which will also be free and open to the public, will kick-off our fall exhibition schedule to include the work of artists Douglas Blau, Robert Crumb, Kate Gilmore and Odili Donald Odita.
Free admission to the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania for the public is sponsored by the Glenn R. Fuhrman (W87/WG88) Fund.
