Description

2016 is a milestone year for the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA), one of the oldest museums in the United States dedicated solely to contemporary art. It’s the 80th anniversary of its founding in 1936, and on Saturday, December 10, the ICA will mark 10 years on Boston’s waterfront in its iconic building.

 

Celebrate with a Free Community Day filled with performances, art-making, talks, activities, and refreshments, free for all.
