An "institute of contemporary arts" is,
as the name suggests,
a creative space where different art genres intersect
with a focus on contemporary art.
ICA Kyoto is an open, accessible platform
to facilitate the response of Japan’s ancient capital,
with its deeply rooted traditional culture,
to global contemporary art trends, and provide a place
where people can work together to create new value.
