The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University displays the art of our time and is free and open to the public six days a week. Artworks and exhibitions showcasing artists from around the world rotate through our four galleries and common spaces regularly, with related programming and events open to the public. Our building, the Markel Center, was designed by Steven Holl Architects specifically for the presentation of contemporary art and was completed in 2018. The Markel Center is a LEED Gold-certified building, in keeping with VCU's commitment to sustainability and sustainable practices. Come see us! Admission is always free.
