Phoenix Magazine Winner - Best of Valley Unconventional Art Space
Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art Shipping Containers
One of the more exciting players in Downtown's art scene — now emerging from gangly adolescence into something akin to your cool cousin who makes her own clothes — is the non-profit Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art. phICA hosts artist residencies, promotes art incubation and community engagement and education, and the fruits of the organization's labor are borne out in its shipping containers on Roosevelt Row. These unconventional spaces host compelling, thematically challenging shows from local artists and allow emerging curators to carry out their budding visions. 408 E. Roosevelt St., Phoenix, phica.org
phICA has been awarded a Community Investment Grant
Arizona Commission on the Arts, the state's cultural agency, has awarded phICA a Community Investment Grant in the amount of $5,000. This represents a significant increase from amounts awarded in previous years. As an institution with virtually no administrative overhead, phICA will utilize these funds to expand outreach and capacity in key educational areas including Critical Art Writing, Immersive Artist Residencies, and Artist Catalog publication. We appreciate the Commission's investment in and ongoing support of phICA.
