A passion for and dedication to the field of book arts drives all that we do here. That spirit has pushed us through global pandemics, driven us past venue and capacity challenges, and cut through political barriers that have actively de-funded our progress. These challenges affect our entire cultural ecosystem — and have an acute effect on our artists, curators, librarians, professors, cultural workers, students, and communities.

Your contributions are needed now more than ever!
Early Giving begins this Saturday, November 15, 2025, culminating on the big day — Thursday, November 20, 2025.

Exhibitor Feature: ICA Miami from Miami, FL, USA
🌴
The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami ) is dedicated to promoting continuous experimentation in contemporary art, advancing new scholarship, and fostering the exchange of art and ideas throughout the Miami region and internationally. Through an energetic calendar of exhibitions and programs, and its collection, ICA Miami provides an important international platform for the work of local, emerging, and under-recognized artists, and advances the public appreciation and understanding of the most innovative art of our time.

Launched in 2014, ICA Miami opened its permanent home in Miami’s Design District in December 2017. The museum’s central location positions it as a cultural anchor within the community and enhances its role in developing cultural literacy throughout the Miami region. The museum offers free admission, providing audiences with open, public access to artistic excellence year-round.

Complementing ICA Miami’s programming is a robust publishing initiative. Expanding upon the museum’s exhibitions, the books serve as enduring testaments to each artists’ practice while generating original scholarship and supporting archival research. The publications are a vital component of ICA Miami’s dedication to promoting the work of innovative contemporary artists at all stages of their careers.
