Free Youth Admission and Access at the ICA

Each year, the ICA welcomes nearly 7,000 youth visitors to the museum—for Play Dates, Teen Programs, school vacation weeks, tours, and art-making activities in our Bank of America Art Lab. While we are not able together as a group onsite, we are working hard to ensure that our virtual doors are open to the young people and families we serve, with online art-making activities and workshops modeled after ICA Play Dates; creative prompts for teens that are accessible remotely, with limited at-home resources; Virtual Teen Nights, and summer learning programs that are free for Boston Public School students.
