Tephra Institute Of Contemporary Art Inc

Education: tephra ica is committed to its diverse educational programs that seek to reach and engage a wide and diverse audience of all ages. We partner with exhibiting artists, curators, scholars and educators on the development of unique programs to serve families and teens both in school and in our galleries. Our workshops invites people of all ages to participate in free workshops either led or inspired by exhibiting artists. Our earth day programming offers outdoor, environmentally focused, arts workshops to creatives of all ages. We also support the development of students interested in the arts via our career sessions and internship program.

Exhibitions: the institution mounts six to eight contemporary art exhibitions each year, typically featuring work by emerging and established regional and national artists. This includes solo exhibitions as well as thematic group shows that present a broad range of contemporary artists working in a wide variety of media. Each exhibition is augmented with a series of public programs, including curator talks, artist workshops, and our creative response program, for which experts in their field respond to the artwork on view and engage the audience in conversation.
