History

Institute of Contemporary Art first opened in 1996 under the Museum of Contemporary art in a building designed by Charles Gwathmey. In 2014 the museum’s board sued the city for the right to move, leading to the foundation of the Institute of Contemporary Art in 2017.[4] The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami remains at the old location. The building consists of 37,500-square-feet of space and its metallic facade was designed by Aranguren + Gallegos Arquitectos.[5]
