CAL IRL @ ICA LA
Saturday March 25, 11am - 1pm, ICA LA

The long term vision for CAL is a brick and mortar home: a community center that houses professional services, community support services, and purpose-built spaces that honor and support our community’s labor. Help us dream this home into being by joining us for informal gatherings every last Saturday of the month at our new temporary home: ICA LA! Our first gathering will take place Saturday, March 25, 2023. ✨✨✨

Since our founding in 2020, we’ve been 100% online, so we’re excited to partner with ICA LA to create a temporary analog home to complement our virtual one. We are delighted that our friends, colleagues, and co-conspirators at ICA LA have offered to share their space with CAL. As an “epicenter of artistic experimentation and incubator of new ideas,” we admire the museum’s visionary approach to exhibition-making and community-building, so we are honored that they are welcoming us in and supporting our growth in this pivotal moment in CAL’s evolution. 

CAL IRL @ ICA LA is an informal monthly gathering for us to listen, talk, get inspired, and take action. CAL will share ideas, resources, drinks and snacks, and the ICA LA exhibitions and bookstore will be open. As always, admission is free. 

All self-identified art workers are welcome, and families are encouraged. All spaces at ICA LA are wheelchair accessible. 

We’ll be on site from 11am to 1pm, so drop in any time. 

We are so excited to meet past, current, and future members of CAL in person every month. Let’s get together in the spirit of shared causes and collective care. We can’t wait to see you IRL @ ICA LA on the 25th! 

In solidarity,
Contemporary Art League
