Expansion Campaign

To increase our audience impact, ICA Miami is expanding and adding a second site on our block, located at 23 41st Street, formerly home to the de la Cruz Collection. After undergoing renovations, the building will open to the public as early as late 2025.

ICA Miami acquired the building through an ongoing capital campaign supported entirely by private funds, including significant participation from our Trustees and a $5 million grant from the Knight Foundation. ICA Miami’s acquisition of the site preserves the building’s pivotal and historic role as an anchor for the art community in Miami and as a beacon of admission-free arts in the Miami Design District.

With this announcement, ICA Miami enters our public campaign. By donating below, you can help us outfit and operate this newly expanded space. 


ICA Miami Past & Future

The last 10 years have been extraordinary ones for our museum and we have been proud to be part of the development of Miami’s cultural landscape, and serve as a resource to all of you. As we look to our next decade and to continually broadening our impact, we are prepared to lead globally in artistic experimentation and scholarship—delivered free year-admission, including access to our educational programs.

Providing an additional 30,000 square feet to the museum, the new site doubles ICA Miami’s facilities for exhibitions and the permanent collection, public programming, and education, enabling the museum to deepen its engagement and impact with audiences and significantly enhance its community resources. This new second home for the museum will provide:

  • Increased gallery space for special exhibitions
  • Dedicated space for the creation of the Knight Foundation new media gallery, which will create a platform for artists experimenting with emerging mediums and technology
  • For the first time, dedicated galleries for the museum’s permanent collection, which includes some of the most important work of the last decades and reflects a robust intergenerational and inclusive narrative of global contemporary art
  • Multiple, state-of-the-art classrooms;
  • Spaces for talks, lectures, symposia, and performance;
  • A lab for the creation of digital and audio-visual media.

 

It is with great appreciation that ICA Miami thanks the generous supporters of its capital campaign.
