Independent Curators International (ICI)

Independent Curators International (ICI) supports curators to help create stronger art communities through experimentation, collaboration, and international engagement.

Curators are arts community leaders and organizers who champion artistic practice; build essential infrastructures and institutions; generate public engagement with art. We work with art spaces in the US and around the world to present exhibitions and public programs for broad audiences; and professional development initiatives for curators.

Our collaborative programs connect curators, artists, and audiences from across social, political, and cultural borders. They form an international framework for sharing knowledge and resources — promoting cultural exchange, access to art, and public awareness of the curator’s role.
