Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) is thrilled to announce our annual Spring Benefit will take place on Saturday, June 1 at the joint studio of critically acclaimed abstract painter Yunhee Min and award-winning TOLO Architecture (Peter Tolkin and Sarah Lorenzen). The evening will begin with a conversation between Min and Good Works Executive Director Anne Ellegood among the artist’s paintings, followed by a walkthrough of TOLO’s studio with principals Tolkin and Lorenzen.

Dinner is provided by Holbox, a Mexican seafood restaurant focusing on fresh local ingredients and vibrant flavors led by chef Gilbert Cetina, a 2023 James Beard Finalist for Best Chef California. The evening will feature live music by B. Wurtz & Friends (Ann Bobco, Harlan Steinberger, and Tommy Jordan), followed by a DJ set with Linda Nuves from Chulita Vinyl Club, a music collective made up of women, gender-non-conforming, non-binary, LGBTQ+, and people of color with a mission of resistance against the erasure of culture.

The evening will also feature the launch of a new edition by artist, teacher, and ICA LA Board Member Todd Gray, titled Euclidean Meta Gris Gris (framed inkjet print photograph, 2024). Spring Benefit attendees will be the first to view the edition and have the opportunity to pre-order it. Additionally, ICA LA will hold a raffle for one lucky individual to win the Todd Gray edition during the event. Raffle tickets will be made available to all Spring Benefit ticket buyers before and during the event, so don’t miss out!

All funds raised from the Spring Benefit directly support ICA LA’s exhibitions and Learning & Engagement programs. As the only museum in DTLA’s Arts District, ICA LA remains committed to providing free access to groundbreaking exhibitions and education programming. The generosity of our patrons and supporters allows ICA LA to advance its mission to support art that sparks the pleasure of discovery and challenges the way we see and experience the world, ourselves, and each other.

We look forward to toasting the future of ICA LA with you!
