The Reading Resource
Room at the ICA
Filled with reference books, monographs, and contemporary art journals
to peruse, the ICA's Reading Resource Room (RRR) is dedicated to making
connections between our exhibitions and contemporary culture. With each
exhibition, the ICA carries books and, our newest program, artist interviews
featured on the flat-screen TV. The community bulletin board is constantly
updated with postcards and flyers to keep you up-to-date with what's
happening in the arts around the Bay Area and beyond.
Bring
your friends!
Now you can reserve the RRR for your community group.
The space is available free of charge during regular gallery hours for
book groups, critique sessions or brown-bag lunch meetings. Contact
Virginia at virginia @ sjica.org
for more information and room availability.
The
RRR's growing library now includes a collection of over 350 books
from the personal library of Paulette Peterson, a talented artist and
long-time member of the local arts community. We are pleased to honor
Paulette’s memory by sharing her diverse collection of art books
with the community in the spirit of continual learning and art appreciation.
