ICP is New York's paramount platform for photography, with a strong emphasis on photojournalism and changing exhibitions on a wide range of themes. Past shows have included work by Sebastião Salgado, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray and Robert Capa. Its new 11,000-sq-ft home on the Bowery places it close to the epicenter of the downtown art scene.
The center is also a school, offering coursework (for credit) and a public lecture series. Stop by the excellent gallery shop, great for instant cameras and photography tomes, cool little gifts and NYC souvenirs.
