Boston’s new home for the Institute of Contemporary Art is under construction on the city’s riverfront, defying the expectations of critics who doubted the organization’s ability to raise the necessary funds. “The new ICA is not just a museum, but a museum that aims to define a new district. Boston’s waterfront is slated for billions of dollars in construction over the next few years, as land that is now parking lots and lobster shacks is turned over to housing, hotels, restaurants and shops.” Still, the ICA must still overcome Boston’s notorious conservatism when it comes to the arts, and convince the local populace that new art is just as good as old.
