The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) is the primary presenter of contemporary art in Boston. Founded in 1936, its mission is to share the pleasures of reflection, inspiration, provocation, and imagination that contemporary art offers through public access to art, artists, and the creative process.
The ICA has continually presented to Boston audiences exhibitions of groundbreaking artists such as Oskar Kokoschka, Paul Gauguin, Andy Warhol, Bill Viola, and Ellen Gallagher. A similar philosophy brings artists outside the museum's walls through the ICA/Vita Brevis program that commissions temporary public projects in Boston neighborhoods. Educational offerings include in- and out-of-school programs for middle and high school students, free evening programming oriented to college and university students and adults, courses, family programs and scholarly symposia. In 2006, due the space limitations at its current facility, we will open a new museum on Boston Harbor that will triple the ICA's current exhibition space, provide an education center and performing arts theatre.
Would you like to become involved with the new Institute of Contemporary Art? The ICA is seeking enthusiastic, committed and articulate people to participate in the Summer 2006 Tour Guide Training Program. After successful completion of the abbreviated summer training course, guides will lead tours of the newly expanded museum space and exhibitions and assist in developing the ICA as a primary resource for learning about contemporary art.
Requirements:
- Membership to the ICA
- Attending a number of training sessions from June - August 2006 (approximately 6 in total)
- A commitment to the Tour Program through December 2006 with an option to participate in the extended training beginning in January 2007
- The equivalent of 1 tour per week following the tour guide training
- A willingness to commit to participating in other volunteer opportunities at the ICA during the fall of 2006
