Institute for Contemporary Art, Richmond

The Institute for Contemporary Art, Richmond, is Virginia Commonwealth University’s contemporary art museum, placed at Broad and Belvidere Streets where campus and city cultural districts meet. Announced in 2011 and opened in April 2018, it was conceived as a noncollecting museum with an international outlook and a flexible role as a forum for art, performance, and public dialogue. Designed by Steven Holl Architects with BCWH Architects and built by Gilbane Building Company, the structurally complex zinc-and-glass building drew national design attention. Supported by major donors and tied closely to the VCU School of the Arts, it serves both the university and Richmond’s broader cultural life.
