PICA is moving. 💖

After 10 years in our current home, we're getting ready to turn the page.

This building has held exhibitions, performances, parties, residencies, arguments, experiments, late nights, big ideas, and an incredible amount of art. We're grateful for every person who helped make it PICA.

Hang tight while we cross our t’s and dot our i’s on our future home. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our new location—along with a full schedule of programs in 2027. ✨

Before we go, come spend these final weeks with us:

➡️ OCT 15 — Lecture by Sophie Cavoulacos
➡️ OCT 17–19 — PICA Moving Sale
➡️ OCT 24 — Final day of MORE by Trisha Baga

And if PICA has meant something to you, this is a moment to help us keep moving. Your support will help make the next chapter possible.

We're saying goodbye to this space. We're not saying goodbye to PICA.

More soon. ♥

✨🔜 There’s only a few more weeks left to see Trisha Baga’s monumental exhibition, “MORE”!

Through stereoscopic video and sculptural environments, Baga transforms the gallery into a landscape where orientation is always in flux—home becomes cosmos and what feels immense becomes intimate. 🌠

Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 15 at 6:30 PM! ✅💬 Sophie Cavoulacos will be at PICA for her lecture: “Art After Midnight: Curating Time-Based Art in the Museum.” ✨

Cavoulacos, Curator in the Film Department at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, will share her curatorial practice, where preservation, oral history, collaboration, and considering site-specificity all play a role in stewarding art made in ephemeral and collective modes within the museum. 🌀🏛️
