The Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania welcomes you to celebrate the opening of our Fall 2026 season with an evening of art, conversation, and community. The season features four new exhibitions that explore land, belonging, solidarity, and connection across communities. The Condition of Being Near brings together artists examining solidarities and complexities across Black, African, and Chinese diasporic communities. The lineup also debuts Wilmer Wilson IV: SKIRL!, the first exhibition to emerge from our R+D residency, while Waste Scenes by Maia Chao and Fred Schmidt-Arenales marks the reopening of ICA’s Project Space. Entryways: Saif Azzuz activates ICA’s facade, and the return of Open Video Call renews an important platform for artists across the Delaware Valley.
