For nearly eight decades, the ICA has been a home for those who dare to think differently — a space where bold creativity, experimentation, and new ideas can flourish. Today, that mission feels more vital than ever.
As we look to the future, we are entering an exciting new chapter in the ICA’s story. We are evolving how we work — strengthening our business model, deepening our investment in artists, expanding the reach of our programme, and reimagining what a cultural institution can and should be in the 21st century.
We are now seeking a new Chair to lead our Board of Trustees through this next phase. This is a rare and significant opportunity to help shape the future of one of London’s most progressive cultural organisations.
We are looking for someone who shares our belief in the power of contemporary culture to create connection and spark change. Someone with the experience, vision, and generosity of spirit to support our Executive team, guide our governance, and champion our mission locally and globally.
As Chair, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the ICA continues to be a space for experimentation, risk-taking, and dialogue — a platform for emerging voices and a catalyst for new ideas. You will lead a talented and committed Board, bringing your own leadership experience, your networks, and your passion for the arts to help secure the ICA’s future for generations to come. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
