Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in Downtown Arts District, Los Angeles, United States.
The Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art operates at 1717 East 7th Street as a non-collecting art museum displaying works from local and international artists.
Marvin Harden established the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art in 1974, creating an exhibition venue that operated through 1987 in Century City.
The institute maintained a democratic structure with member-elected committees directing exhibition programming and supporting experimental artistic practices through various mediums.
The institute provided free admission to visitors and published the LAICA Journal, which documented the history and identity of Los Angeles artistic community.
The organization rented its first exhibition space in Century City for one dollar per year, transforming an unbuilt area into a platform for contemporary art.
