- Unlimited year-round admission to the ICA
- Director’s Circle-exclusive museum hours, Wednesdays from 10 AM–12 PM (beginning July 21, 2020)
- 10% discount at the ICA Store and coffee cart

Director’s Circle levels and benefits
During this time, we are investing in virtual programming, with a focus on re-envisioning donor events and programs like After Hours tours, travel, exhibition openings, and behind the scenes experiences with artists, to ensure that you continue to enjoy the benefits of access and engagement as a Director’s Circle member.
Should you choose to elect membership benefits in joining or renewing your membership, the ICA is committed to revising and resending the acknowledgement of your annual gift at the conclusion of the tax year to provide you with an accurate reflection of your benefits.
