Overlooking Boston Harbor, the Institute of Contemporary Art's stark glass façade houses a well-curated permanent collection of contemporary art as well as a rotating selection of shows, installations, and performances. Visitors meander halls lined in works of various mediums, such as the lushly surfaced paintings of Mickalene Thomas, the upcoming exuberance of Barry McGee and Air, an interactive exhibit that flows through the lungs of every museum-goer. Promoting dance, theater, and musical arts, the museum's calendar of performances gives patrons a chance to kick back and relax as artworks unfold before their eyes. Various interactive programs, such as the family
play dates keep members in tune with their own creative drives by encouraging artistic exploration.
