Portfolio Prep is a two-week intensive summer course designed to prepare students ages 11 to 15 who intend to apply to magnet and charter arts schools.

ICA Miami presents INTERFERENCE, a group exhibition featuring artworks by the Young Artists Initiative class of 2023.

Interference, as in “I’m losing you” or “you are breaking,” is a disruption caused by radio frequencies where the signal is momentarily lost or hijacked. A frail broadcast is a fissure in the stream of instant telecommunications. This disruption creates an opportunity to shift discourse, or embed transformative, oppositional, and cryptic messages.

Young Artists Initiative 2023/2024 Registration is open for 10th-12th grade students! Young Artists Initiative is the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami’s selective youth arts development program. YAI connects young artists to the museum’s collection and local arts community through an immersive two-year program and explores a different theme or practice each year. Participants are encouraged to look critically at contemporary art practices and are provided with opportunities to work directly with leading artists.

"I'm showing humanity, and the hope in humanity. The growth through struggle," says Los Angeles-based artist Daniel Gibson as he takes ICA Miami through the California desert to the US-Mexico border. This video, like Gibson's work, reflects on the perils of migration, and the humanity of representation.

“I’m trying to create a world that doesn’t exist.” Says Los Angeles-based artist Emma Webster on her recent work using Virtual Reality and 3D technology to paint otherworldly landscapes.

Did you ever wonder how sound shapes collective experiences from music and dance to protest and practices like listening? ICA Miami's "Tomorrow is the Problem," explores the critical underpinnings of familiar concepts from everyday life often taken for granted. Hosted by Assistant Curator Donna Honarpisheh, PhD, the four information-packed episodes in season two focus on sound as art, music, protest, and violence.
