Free SF Art Museum Opens in Historic Downtown Bank Building “The Cube”

San Francisco’s art scene just hit a major milestone with the grand opening of the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF) in The Cube, a historic, 78,000-square-foot former Bank of America building in the heart of the Financial District. From October 25-27, 2024, ICA SF welcomed the public to its new, expansive home, bringing contemporary art to the center of the city in a space that blends historic architecture with bold creativity.

A Space Reimagined

The Cube, located at Montgomery and California, stands as a five-story icon transformed from a banking powerhouse into a hub for art and culture. ICA SF’s move from Dogpatch more than doubles its exhibition space, offering 26,000 square feet dedicated to avant-garde exhibits, community programming, and cultural dialogue. The best part? Admission is entirely free, making contemporary art accessible to all.

Thanks to a two-year, rent-free agreement with Vornado Realty Trust, ICA SF activates the first floor and basement of The Cube, setting a precedent for how vacant urban spaces can be revitalized post-pandemic.

Current Exhibitions to Explore

  • The Poetics of Dimensions, curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah
  • Maryam Yousif: Riverbend
  • Spotlight: Kathleen Ryan

ICA SF is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours until 7 p.m. on Thursdays. Plan your visit at 345 Montgomery Street at California and experience how art is reshaping downtown San Francisco.

Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Thursdays until 7 p.m. (Closed Monday-Tuesday)
Admission: Free
