IC Contemporary (ICC) is a Toronto based art collective that utilizes online and in-person art programming to support emerging and under-represented artists through exhibitions, artist talks, and community programming. As a collective dedicated to supporting the arts through an intersectional lens, our programs aim to promote gender equality, platform under-represented voices, create accessible and inclusive spaces, and breakdown socio-economic barriers within the arts communities.

What do we do?

Programs with ICC range between themes, mediums, and scale as we maneuver through physical and virtual realms that are malleable to suit any artists’ needs, however we prioritize programs around identity. Our exhibitions have been an outlet to explore the various aspects of identity, such as memory navigation, dreams, sexuality, diasporic histories, and other tangible experiences of one’s own identity. Annually we host an international Queer group exhibition, allowing our 2SLGBTQIA+ artists around the globe showcase their Queer experiences through art.
